Hey guys.
I found tutorial from here. It is basically generating multiple fields with javascript.
http://www.openjs.com/scripts/examples/addfield.php
I was wondering, how do to I insert multiple SETS of fields? I want to insert in sets of 3. Because I want to fill in the "First name", "Last name", "Email" for each set then insert each set into the database.
I copied the code from the link and inserted it into my html doc.
HTML Code:<head> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- //Add more fields dynamically. function addField(area,field,limit) { if(!document.getElementById) return; //Prevent older browsers from getting any further. var field_area = document.getElementById(area); var all_inputs = field_area.getElementsByTagName("input"); //Get all the input fields in the given area. //Find the count of the last element of the list. It will be in the format '<field><number>'. If the // field given in the argument is 'friend_' the last id will be 'friend_4'. var last_item = all_inputs.length - 1; var last = all_inputs[last_item].id; var count = Number(last.split("_")[1]) + 1; //If the maximum number of elements have been reached, exit the function. // If the given limit is lower than 0, infinite number of fields can be created. if(count > limit && limit > 0) return; if(document.createElement) { //W3C Dom method. var li = document.createElement("li"); var input = document.createElement("input"); input.id = field+count; input.name = field+count; input.type = "text"; //Type of field - can be any valid input type like text,file,checkbox etc. li.appendChild(input); field_area.appendChild(li); } else { //Older Method field_area.innerHTML += "<li><input name='"+(field+count)+"' id='"+(field+count)+"' type='text' /></li>"; } } //--> </script> <form name="frm" method="POST"> <strong>Friends List</strong><br /> <ol id="friends_area"> <li><input type="text" name="friend_1" id="friend_1" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="friend_2" id="friend_2" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="friend_3" id="friend_3" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="friend_4" id="friend_4" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="friend_5" id="friend_5" /></li> </ol> <input type="button" value="Add Friend Field" onclick="addField('friends_area','friend_',10);" /> <strong>Enemies List</strong><br /> <ol id="enemies_area"> <li><input type="text" name="enemy_1" id="enemy_1" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="enemy_2" id="enemy_2" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="enemy_3" id="enemy_3" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="enemy_4" id="enemy_4" /></li> <li><input type="text" name="enemy_5" id="enemy_5" /></li> </ol> <input type="button" value="Add Friend Field" onclick="addField('enemies_area','enemy_',0);" /> </form> </body> </html>
Im super new to javascript. Ive only studied php. I hope you can help me. Thanks!
