I have a web page. There is a button called add. When this add button is clicked then one text box must be added. This should happen at client side only. I want to allow the user to add at most 10 text boxes.
How can I achieve it using JavaScript?
Example:
I also wants to provide a button called "remove" by which the user can remove the extra text box
Can anyone provide me a JavaScript code for this?
Untested, but this should work (assuming an element with the right id exists);
var add_input = function () {
var count = 0;
return function add_input() {
count++;
if (count >= 10) {
return false;
}
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.name = 'generated_input';
document.getElementbyId('inputs_contained').appendChild(input);
}
}();
add_input();
add_input();
add_input();
A solution using the jQuery framework:
<form>
<ul class="addedfields">
<li><input type="text" name="field[]" class="textbox" />
<input type="button" class="removebutton" value="remove"/></li>
</ul>
<input type="button" class="addbutton" value="add"/>
</form>
The jQuery script code:
$(function(){
$(".addbutton").click(){
if(".addedfields").length < 10){
$(".addedfields").append(
'<li><input type="text" name="field[]" class="textbox" />' +
'<input type="button" class="removebutton" value="remove"/></li>'
);
}
}
// live event will automatically be attached to every new remove button
$(".removebutton").live("click",function(){
$(this).parent().remove();
});
});
Note: I did not test the code.
Edit: changed faulty quotation marks
I hope you are using jQuery.
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
$(document).ready(function(){
var counter = 2;
$("#add").click(function () {
if(counter==11){
alert("Too many boxes");
return false;
}
$("#textBoxes").html($("#textBoxes").html() + "<div id='d"+counter+"' ><label for='t2'> Textbox "+counter+"</label><input type='textbox' id='t"+counter+"' > </div>\n");
++counter;
});
$("#remove").click(function () {
if(counter==1){
alert("Can u see any boxes");
return false;
}
--counter;
$("#d"+counter).remove();
});
});
// --></script>
</head><body>
<div id='textBoxes'>
<div id='d1' ><label for="t1"> Textbox 1</label><input type='textbox' id='t1' ></div>
</div>
<input type='button' value='add' id='add'>
<input type='button' value='remove' id='remove'>
