dynamically add inputs based on a input number I give

Advertisements

I want to dynamically add input fields based on the input number I give.
now because I gave ‘#TemplateCreate’ it overwrites the entire page. but I don’t want that. I want my dynamical inputs to be below

component

also my button is not working. I want to have input fields based the input I give on No. of parameters when i click the button.

kindly help me with this. Thank you in advance.

ps: sorry for the bad code, I’m just a beginner 🙂

>Solution :

To avoid page overwrite, you can use jQuery .append as in
$("#TemplateCreate").append(htmlString); https://api.jquery.com/append

The problem with your button is that you have bound it to the click event, but inside its callback you bound another element (#params) to the change event. The way you wrote it, clicking the button will only activate the second event listener.

Solution is: rely only on the button click event, and inside the callback get the current value of params, without binding the second element to change event.

$('#gen-button').click(function() {
  var htmlString = "";
  var len = $("#params").val() || 0;
  htmlString += '<div class="form-group row>';
  htmlString += '<div class="form-group column>';

  for (var i = 1; i <= len; i++) {
    htmlString += '<div class="form-group row">\
        <div class="form-group column">\
        <label class="col-sm-12 col-form-label">Type :</label>\
        <div class="col-sm-24">\
        <select name="value" id="typeName">\
        <option value="" selected disabled hidden>text</option>\
        <option value="text">text</option>\
        </select>\
        </div>\
        </div>\
        <div class="form-group column">\
        <label class="col-sm-12 col-form-label">Content :</label>\
        <div class="col-sm-12">\
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="ConName" placeholder="type your content here" name="ContentName">\
        </div>\
        </div>\
        </div>';
  }
  htmlString += '</div>';
  htmlString += '</div>';
  $("#TemplateCreate").append(htmlString);
});
