I am trying to clone and append a table row when the user selects my add rows button. I have an empty hidden row that is used to clone. I can't seem to get it to work how I need it too.
I output my form with PHP and looks something like this:
$budgetRowCount = 0;
echo"<table id='selected_budget_table'>
<tr>
<th>Roofs</th>
<th>Roof Area</th>
<th>Recommendations</th>
<th>Amount</th>
<th>Remove</th>
</tr>";
echo "<tr id='new_budget_row0' style='display: none;'>
<td><input id='budget-roofs' name='budget-roofs[]' /></td>
<td><input id='budget-area' name='budget-area[]' /></td>
<td><input id='budget-recommendation' name='budget-recommendations[]' /></td>
<td><input id='budget-amount' name='budget-amount[]'/> </td>
</tr>";
while ($budgetInfoRow = mysqli_fetch_array($budgetResult)) {
if($budgetRowCount == 0){
echo "<tr id='selected_budget_row". $budgetRowCount ."'>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-roofs' name='budget-roofs[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_roofs']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-roof-area' name='budget-roof-area[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_roof_area']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-recommendation' name='budget-recommendation[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_recommendation']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-amount' name='budget-amount[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_amount']."'</td>";
echo "</tr>";
$budgetRowCount++;
}
else{
echo "<tr id='selected_budget_row". $budgetRowCount ."'>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-roofs' name='budget-roofs[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_roofs']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-roof-area' name='budget-roof-area[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_roof_area']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-recommendation' name='budget-recommendation[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_recommendation']."'</td>";
echo "<td><input type='text' id='budget-amount' name='budget-amount[]' value='".$budgetInfoRow['budget_amount']."'</td>";
echo "<td><a href='#' class='removeRow' data-remove-row='budget_row". $budgetRowCount . "'>Remove</a></td>";
echo "</tr>";
$budgetRowCount++;
}
}
echo "</table>";
echo"<input type='button' value='+' id='addNewBudgetRow' class='addNewBudgetRow'/>";
And this is how I am attempting to clone my row and add it to my table:
$(function() {
var $removeIDVal = 0;
$(document.body).on('click', '.addNewBudgetRow', function () {
var $emptyBudgetTableRow = $("#new_budget_row0").clone();
$removeIDVal++
var $emptyBudgetTableRowClone = $emptyBudgetTableRow.clone();
var $newRowID = 'added_budget_row' + $removeIDVal;
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.attr('id', $newRowID)
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.children('td').last().after('<td><a href="#" class="removeRow" data-remove-row="' + $newRowID + '">Remove</a></td>');
$(this).closest("fieldset").find("tbody").append($emptyBudgetTableRowClone);
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.show();
});
});
I had an alert to check if the button was actually firing and my alert showed up no problem, however I can't seem to get it to clone and append properly and I have done this several times elsewhere with no issues. Where am I going wrong here?
How can I fix this so that my row gets cloned properly and added to the end of my table?
You are not selecting your table, since you have no <fieldset>
or <tbody>
. Select it by id.
Alos you were cloning new row twice and you have multiple same ids.
$(document.body).on('click', '.addNewBudgetRow', function () {
var $emptyBudgetTableRowClone = $("#new_budget_row0").clone();
$removeIDVal++
var $newRowID = 'added_budget_row' + $removeIDVal;
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.attr('id', $newRowID)
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.children('td').last().after('<td><a href="#" class="removeRow" data-remove-row="' + $newRowID + '">Remove</a></td>');
$('#selected_budget_table').append($emptyBudgetTableRowClone);
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.show();
});
});
$(function() {
var $removeIDVal = 0;
$(document.body).on('click', '.addNewBudgetRow', function () {
var $emptyBudgetTableRowClone = $("#new_budget_row0").clone();
$removeIDVal++
var $newRowID = 'added_budget_row' + $removeIDVal;
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.attr('id', $newRowID)
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.children('td').last().after('<td><a href="#" class="removeRow" data-remove-row="' + $newRowID + '">Remove</a></td>');
// Select you table by id
$('#selected_budget_table').append($emptyBudgetTableRowClone);
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.show();
});
});

<tr id='new_budget_row0' style='display: none;'>
<td><input id='budget-roofs' name='budget-roofs[]' /></td>
<td><input id='budget-area' name='budget-area[]' /></td>

<input type='button' value='+' id='addNewBudgetRow' class='addNewBudgetRow'/>
</div>
I've put it up on jsFiddle and found + fixed some issues:
http://jsfiddle.net/lumpie/nprsdb2m/
$(function() {
var $removeIDVal = 0;
$(document.body).on('click', '.addNewBudgetRow', function () {
var $emptyBudgetTableRow = $("#new_budget_row0");
$removeIDVal++
var $emptyBudgetTableRowClone = $emptyBudgetTableRow.clone();
var $newRowID = 'added_budget_row' + $removeIDVal;
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.attr('id', $newRowID)
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.append('<td><a href="#" class="removeRow" data-remove-row="' + $newRowID + '">Remove</a></td>');
$("#selected_budget_table").append($emptyBudgetTableRowClone);
// Logic to remove a row:
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.find(".removeRow").click(function() {
$(this).parents("tr").remove();
});
$emptyBudgetTableRowClone.show();
});
});
Ah, just a minute too late, Rene Korss was slightly ahead of me.
But hey: I've included a little extra: logic to make the Remove button work :)
