I'm trying to design a table in HTML which can add a row when I click "add row" button & the same for deleting an added row if i intend to delete it. I have written a javascript for adding checkbox and text. But I want even combo-boxes in it and I m stuck in the middle. Could you guys just figure it out and let me know how to do that? This is my JS file.
function addRow(tableID) {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
var element1 = document.createElement("input");
element1.type = "checkbox";
cell1.appendChild(element1);
var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
cell2.innerHTML = rowCount + 1;
var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
var element2 = document.createElement("input");
element2.type = "text";
cell3.appendChild(element2);
var cell4 = row.insertCell(3);
var element3 = document.createElement("input");
element3.type = "text";
cell4.appendChild(element3);
var cell5 = row.insertCell(4);
//This is where the PROBLEM is!!
var element4 = document.createElement("select");
element4.type = "option";
cell5.appendChild(element4);
}
function deleteRow(tableID) {
try {
var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
var rowCount = table.rows.length;
for(var i=0; i<rowCount; i++) {
var row = table.rows[i];
var chkbox = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
if(null != chkbox && true == chkbox.checked) {
table.deleteRow(i);
rowCount--;
i--;
}
}
}catch(e) {
alert(e);
}
}
// JavaScript Document
NOTE: Please dont suggest SERVER_SIDE SCRIPTING. I'm just doing my homework on Java Script :)
This should do the trick:
var cell5 = row.insertCell(4);
//This is where the SOLUTION is!!
var element4 = document.createElement("select");
var option1 = document.createElement("option");
option1.value="1";
option1.innerHTML="sample1";
element4.appendChild(option1);
var option2 = document.createElement("option");
option2.value="2";
option2.innerHTML="sample2";
element4.appendChild(option2);
cell5.appendChild(element4);
