Adding new table on page

dungey · February 19th, 2004, 12:40 PM

Hello all,

Just a quick question regarding adding a new table in a form by clicking on a add button using javascript... The idea derived from this site http://www.campusbookstore.com/index...PTBOOKS#Bottom , in the bottom of the page there is an add button which allows users to add on the form another textbook field... Is that possible in Javascript? if so how would i go about trying to accomplish that?

thanks for the assistance...

With a reasonable modern browser all elements are addable dynamically via client side script. The link below has plenty of examples on adding tables and form elements. Also search the archives of these forums for posts. I remember oposting two or three examples of doing this in the past six months.

The function underneath will write a string (newString) to some element identified by id.

Code:

function show(id, newString)
{
    objCell = document.getElementById(id);
    objCell.innerHTML = newString;
}

Then you can probably modify this to your exact needs; that is, naturally without reloading the page.
