I want the following functionality in my webpage :-
when the add button is clicked, an entire div should get appended to a span. To achieve this I have attempted the below, but it does not seem to be working. Please explain why and how can i get this done.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function add()
{
var details=document.getElementById('education');
var eachDetail=document.getElementById('fdetails_edu_div');
alert(details.getAttribute('id'));
alert(eachDetail.getAttribute('id'));
var x=details.appendChild(eachDetail);
alert(x);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id="education">
<div id="fdetails_edu_div">
<label>EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION
<span class="small">Click on 'ADD' to add more qualifiaction details</span>
</label>
<button type="button" name="addqualifiaction" onclick="add()">ADD</button>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<label>Degree
<span class="small">School/Board</span>
</label>
<p>
<input type="text" name="school_board" id="fdegree" size="30" maxlength="30" value="none" class="fprjtit"/>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<label>Year
<span class="small">Year of Passing</span>
</label>
<p>
<input type="text" name="pass_year" id="fdegree" size="30" maxlength="30" value="none" class="fprjtit"/>
</p>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<label>Max Marks
<span class="small">maximum marks</span>
</label>
<p>
<input type="text" name="max_marks" id="fdegree" size="30" maxlength="30" value="none" class="fprjtit"/>
</p>
</div>
</span>
</body>
</html>
now when i click on the add button the div with the id "fdetails_edu_div" should get appended as a child, preferably to the bottom, of the span with the id "education".
What is wrong with the below and how can it be corrected?
I think you need to clone the div with id fdetails_edu_div
Use the following code
var x = 1;
function add() {
var container = document.getElementById('education');
var detail = document.getElementById('fdetails_edu_div');
var clone = detail.cloneNode(true);
clone.id = "fdetails_edu_div" + x;
x++;
container.appendChild(clone);
}
Notice, I create a new id for the newly created div.
Also note, I have removed the Add button from within the div fdetails_edu_div and placed it outside (you don't want the add button to repeat, do you?)
See working fiddle
The usage of appendChild() is move an element from one element to another,check this.
Based on your code, you move the 'eachDetail' to 'details', but 'eachDetail' is already there. It works like you remove the 'eachDetail' and then add it again in the 'details', so nothing happens.
You can replace 'details' with another element, a new span.
Try this code
function add()
{
var arr = [];
var n = 0;
var details=document.getElementById('education');
var eachDetail=document.getElementById('fdetails_edu_div');
alert(details.getAttribute('id'));
alert(eachDetail.getAttribute('id'));
node = document.getElementById("fdetails_edu_div");
while (node.firstChild) {
arr[n++] = node.firstChild;
node.removeChild(node.firstChild);
}
for(var i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
details.appendChild(arr[i]);
}
alert(eachDetail.parentNode.getAttribute('id'));
}
Above code first removes the child nodes of div with id fdetails_edu_div, saves them temporarily and later appends them to span with id education. You can check this with alert(eachDetail.parentNode.getAttribute('id'));

I want to be able to display the same piece of html code 10 times under the div called: <div id="add_remove_product_name"> By clicking on the button called: <button id="add_another_product_name">. I think I need some kind of a for loop for the job but are not sure. Any suggestion will be helpful, thanks.
My HTML code:
<div id="product_name">
<input id="skriv_produktnavn" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required></label>
<button id="add_another_product_name">Tilføj endnu et produktnavn</button>
<div id="add_remove_product_name">
<input id="added_product_name" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required></label>
<button id="remove_product_name">X</button>
</div>
Use a for loop to concatenate 10 copies of the HTML code. Then use .after() to put this after the DIV.
$("#add_another_product_name").click(function() {
var html = '';
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
html += 'html code that you want to repeat';
}
$("#add_remove_product_name").after(html);
}
You can use jQuery clone() however when cloning an element all the attributes will be the same. Fo example they will all have the same id attribute which will cause problems and it is not valid html
So in order to do the clone correctly you have fix the cloned element
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/rpyt445e/
var $tpl = $('#product_name').clone();
var num = 0
$('#clone').click(function () {
num++;
var $cloned = $tpl.clone();
$cloned.attr('id', $tpl.attr('id') + '_' + num);
$(':not([id=""])', $cloned).each(function(){
$(this).attr('id', $(this).attr('id') + '_'+num);
});
$cloned.appendTo('#wrapper');
});
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="product_name">
<input id="skriv_produktnavn" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required />
<button id="add_another_product_name">Tilføj endnu et produktnavn</button>
<div id="add_remove_product_name">
<input id="added_product_name" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required />
<button id="remove_product_name">X</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<button id="clone">Clone</button>
A technique for adding the additional elements without having to create ugly strings of html in the JavaScript is to start with one hidden set of the elements in the html. At page load time, you remove that set, but keep a reference to it. Then when you want to add a set to the page, you clone the set you removed. All of this is easier if you add a container div around the additional inputs.
You also need to make sure id attribute values are unique. In the case of the remove buttons, you can replace the id with a class. As for the input id values, if you really need them, you can add an index value to them.
Since the remove buttons are dynamically added, I suggest using event delegation when binding the click-handler.
HTML:
<div id="product_name">
<input id="skriv_produktnavn" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required="required"/>
<button id="add_another_product_name">Tilføj endnu et produktnavn</button>
<div id="additional_product_names">
<div class="add_remove_product_name" style="display: none;">
<input id="added_product_name" placeholder="Skriv Produktnavn her" required="required"/>
<button class="remove_product_name">X</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript:
$(function() {
var MAX = 10;
var $addBtn = $('#add_another_product_name'),
$additionalContainer = $('#additional_product_names');
$TEMPLATE = $additionalContainer.children(':first').remove();
function update() {
var $additonalDivs = $additionalContainer.children();
// Enable/disable the add button.
$addBtn.prop('disabled', $additonalDivs.length >= MAX);
// Re-index the "id" attributes.
$additonalDivs.find('input').attr('id', function(i) {
return 'added_product_name[' + i + ']';
});
}
$addBtn.click(function() {
$TEMPLATE.clone().appendTo($additionalContainer).show();
update();
});
$('#product_name').on('click', '.remove_product_name', function() {
$(this).closest('.add_remove_product_name').remove();
update();
});
});

I'm trying to add the rows dynamically plus auto-increment of a counter.I want to start with 1 then 2 then 3 and so on . I have added my code on plunker ,in which every time the max value is getting in first column like 4 then 1,1,2,3.Where am i going wrong ?i Want it to be 1,2,3,4.
Here is the plunker link http://plnkr.co/edit/GuDbJ3SHOPvWkHfNfd8E?p=preview
var _counter = 0;
function Add() {
_counter++;
var oClone = document.getElementById("template").cloneNode(true);
oClone.id += (_counter + "");
document.getElementById("placeholder1").appendChild(oClone);
document.getElementById("myVal").value=_counter;
}
<div id="placeholder1">
<div id="template">
<div>
Value:<input type="text" id="myVal" placeholder="1">
Quantity:<input type="text" placeholder="Qty">
<input type="button" onClick="Add()" value="Click! ">
</div>
</div>
I think it is because you have multiple divs with the id="myVal". The id attribute should be unique on the page. If not, your page will still load, but you may have unexpected behavior.
You are changing the id of the template div, but not the myVal div.
I assume you are looking for something like this:
var _counter = 0;
function Add() {
_counter++;
var oClone = document.getElementById("template").cloneNode(true);
oClone.id += (_counter + "");
document.getElementById("placeholder1").appendChild(oClone);
oClone.getElementsByClassName("myVal")[0].value = _counter;
}
<div id="placeholder1">
<div id="template">
<div>
Value:
<input type="text" class="myVal" placeholder="1">Quantity:
<input type="text" placeholder="Qty">
<input type="button" onClick="Add()" value="Click! ">
</div>
</div>
</div>
In your original you are cloning your template with the same id for the input. So when you do document.getElementById("myVal").value=_counter;, you only get the first input. I changed it to use class instead and get the input with the appropriate class that is a child of the cloned node.
I am trying to create clones of a HTML div. The div has a label and two text boxes inside it. I need to change the label value of the newly created div. Here is my code.
<body>
<div id="PayDiv2">
<label id="PayLbl2">Payment No 2: </label>
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div id ="totPayForm" >
<label id="totPayLbl">Total Payment: </label>
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Add new one" onclick="addNewField();
return false;">
</div>
<input type="button" value="Clone box" id="btn" />
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
var i=3;
//When DOM loaded we attach click event to button
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#btn').click(function() {
var cloned = $('#PayDiv2').clone();
cloned.insertBefore("#totPayForm");
$('#PayLbl2').html("Payment No "+ i++ + ':');
});
});
</script>
</body>
The problem is the place the newly created clones placed. First clone get placed before everything(even though I need to place it after the original div which I used to create divs. )
divs generated after that also get placed at first and, early divs goes down. It is hard to describe here. If you can be kind enough to run my code you will see what the issue is.
I have an another requirement to generate unique ids to cloned divs. Since I am new in JQuery, I found it difficult to generate id's.
I am pleased if you can help me in this case. Thank you all.
The problem is $('#PayLbl2').html("Payment No "+ i++ + ':'); it always changes the first element's label instead of the clone(because of the duplicated ids)...
so use class instead of id
<div class="PayDiv2">
<label class="PayLbl2">Payment No 2:</label>
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
</div>
then
var i = 3;
//When DOM loaded we attach click event to button
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btn').click(function () {
var cloned = $('.PayDiv2').first().clone();
cloned.insertBefore("#totPayForm");
cloned.find('.PayLbl2').html("Payment No " + i+++':');
});
});
Demo: Fiddle
Here it is.
Demo
Make your HTML like below
<div id="PayDiv0" class="PayDiv0">
<label id="PayLbl0" class="PayLbl2">Payment No 2:</label>
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
</div>
<div id="totPayForm">
<label id="totPayLbl">Total Payment:</label>
<input type="text" />
<input type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Add new one" onclick="addNewField();
return false;">
</div>
<input type="button" value="Clone box" id="btn" />
And JS should be like this
var i = 3;
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#btn').click(function () {
var cloned = $('.PayDiv0').first().clone();
var noOfDivs = $('.PayDiv0').length;
cloned.insertBefore("#totPayForm");
cloned.attr('id', 'PayDiv' + noOfDivs);
cloned.find('label').attr('id', 'PayLbl' + noOfDivs);
cloned.find('.PayLbl2').html("Payment No " + i+++':');
});
});
As mentioned in the answer by #Arun P Johny, set the div id PayDiv0
$('#btn').click(function () {
var cloned = $('.PayDiv2').first().clone();
// find total divs with class PayDiv2
var noOfDivs = $('.PayDiv2').length;
cloned.insertBefore("#totPayForm");
// add new id to the cloned div
cloned.attr('id', 'PayDiv' + noOfDivs);
// find the label element inside new div and add the new id to it
cloned.find('label').attr('id', 'PayLbl' + noOfDivs);
cloned.find('.PayLbl2').html("Payment No " + i+++':');
});
this way you can add the dynamic ids to your elements.
The fieldset in now cloning without retaining data from the previous fieldset as I intended. Thank you RobG and ATOzTOA for all your help.
The only problem I'm having now is the calendar is nonfunctional in the cloned fieldsets.
I have looked through several threads where people have had the same problem as me and I apologize for creating another thread on the subject.
Script for calendar dropdown.
<!-- calendar dropdown -->
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#datepicker").datepicker();
});
</script>
Script to clone the fieldset.
<!-- clone fieldset -->
<script>
var _counter = 0;
function Add() {
_counter++;
var oClone = document.getElementById("template").cloneNode(true);
oClone.id += (_counter + "");
document.getElementById("placeholder").appendChild(oClone);
var inputs = oClone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0, iLen=inputs.length;
i<iLen; i++) {
inputs[i].value = '';
}
}
</script>
Fieldset to be cloned.

<button class="left-button" "btn" type="button" name="Submit" onclick="Add();">Add New Event</button>
Presumably you are adding content to the labels. You can use getElementsByTagName to get the labels from the clone, then set their innerHTML to '' (empty string) to remove any child nodes (or loop over the child nodes and remove them, but setting the innerHTML property is simpler). While looping over the labels, you can modify any other properties that might need it.
If you just want to clear the value of the input elements, same strategy only use getElementsByTagName('input') and set their value property to `` (empty string).
Note that you have three input elements with a name of "first_name". It doesn't seem like a good idea to do that when none of them seems to be a first name. Use a name that represents the data they hold or the purpose to which it will be put. It also doesn't seem to be necessary to have one with an ID of "datepicker". Either remove the ID, or if you need it (unlikley), modify the value so it's unique to each cloned fragment.
Edit
To use getElementsByTagName to set the input values to "":
var inputs = oClone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var i=0, iLen=inputs.length; i<iLen; i++) {
inputs[i].value = '';
}
You will have to traverse through each element in the frameset and set text() to "".
var div = document.getElementById('template'):
var labels = div.getElementsByTagName('label');
for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i += 1) {
code = labels[i].innerHTML;
// As there is a input element inside the label, we have to modify the HTML code
codeArray = code.split('<');
codeArray[0] = '';
code = codeArray.join('<');
labels[i] = code;
}
Please forgive me if I repeat the question.
I have HTML that all elements inside a div tag has different id, suppose I have already get the reference to the div, is there any simple way to get the element by its id without iterate all elements with that div?
here is my sample html:
<div id="div1" >
<input type="text" id="edit1" />
<input type="text" id="edit2" />
</div>
<div id="div2" >
<input type="text" id="edit1" />
<input type="text" id="edit2" />
</div>
You may try something like this.
Sample Markup.
<div id="div1" >
<input type="text" id="edit1" />
<input type="text" id="edit2" />
</div>
<div id="div2" >
<input type="text" id="edit3" />
<input type="text" id="edit4" />
</div>
JavaScript
function GetElementInsideContainer(containerID, childID) {
var elm = {};
var elms = document.getElementById(containerID).getElementsByTagName("*");
for (var i = 0; i < elms.length; i++) {
if (elms[i].id === childID) {
elm = elms[i];
break;
}
}
return elm;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/naveen/H8j2A/
A better method as suggested by nnnnnn
function GetElementInsideContainer(containerID, childID) {
var elm = document.getElementById(childID);
var parent = elm ? elm.parentNode : {};
return (parent.id && parent.id === containerID) ? elm : {};
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/naveen/4JMgF/
Call it like
var e = GetElementInsideContainer("div1", "edit1");
var x = document.getElementById("parent").querySelector("#child");
// don't forget a #
or
var x = document.querySelector("#parent").querySelector("#child");
or
var x = document.querySelector("#parent #child");
or
var x = document.querySelector("#parent");
var y = x.querySelector("#child");
eg.
var x = document.querySelector("#div1").querySelector("#edit2");
You don't want to do this. It is invalid HTML to have more than one element with the same id. Browsers won't treat that well, and you will have undefined behavior, meaning you have no idea what the browser will give you when you select an element by that id, it could be unpredictable.
You should be using a class, or just iterating through the inputs and keeping track of an index.
Try something like this:
var div2 = document.getElementById('div2');
for(i = j = 0; i < div2.childNodes.length; i++)
if(div2.childNodes[i].nodeName == 'INPUT'){
j++;
var input = div2.childNodes[i];
alert('This is edit'+j+': '+input);
}
JSFiddle
A given ID can be only used once in a page. It's invalid HTML to have multiple objects with the same ID, even if they are in different parts of the page.
You could change your HTML to this:
<div id="div1" >
<input type="text" class="edit1" />
<input type="text" class="edit2" />
</div>
<div id="div2" >
<input type="text" class="edit1" />
<input type="text" class="edit2" />
</div>
Then, you could get the first item in div1 with a CSS selector like this:
#div1 .edit1
On in jQuery:
$("#div1 .edit1")
Or, if you want to iterate the items in one of your divs, you can do it like this:
$("#div1 input").each(function(index) {
// do something with one of the input objects
});
If I couldn't use a framework like jQuery or YUI, I'd go get Sizzle and include that for it's selector logic (it's the same selector engine as is inside of jQuery) because DOM manipulation is massively easier with a good selector library.
If I couldn't use even Sizzle (which would be a massive drop in developer productivity), you could use plain DOM functions to traverse the children of a given element.
You would use DOM functions like childNodes or firstChild and nextSibling and you'd have to check the nodeType to make sure you only got the kind of elements you wanted. I never write code that way because it's so much less productive than using a selector library.
A simple way to do what OP desires in core JS.
document.getElementById(parent.id).children[child.id];
In HTML ids should be unique. I suggest you change your code to something like this:
<div id="div1" >
<input type="text" name="edit1" id="edit1" />
<input type="text" name="edit2" id="edit2" />
</div>
<div id="div2" >
<input type="text" name="edit1" id="edit3" />
<input type="text" name="edit2" id="edit4" />
</div>
Sample Html code
<div id="temp">
F1 <input type="text" value="111"/><br/>
F2 <input type="text" value="222"/><br/>
F3 <input type="text" value="333"/><br/>
Type <select>
<option value="A">A</option>
<option value="B">B</option>
<option value="C">C</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Go" onclick="getVal()">
</div>
Javascript
function getVal()
{
var test = document.getElementById("temp").getElementsByTagName("input");
alert("Number of Input Elements "+test.length);
for(var i=0;i<test.length;i++)
{
if(test[i].type=="text")
{
alert(test[i].value);
}
}
test = document.getElementById("temp").getElementsByTagName("select");
alert("Select box "+test[0].options[test[0].selectedIndex].text);
}
By providing different tag names we can get all the values from the div.
Unfortunately this is invalid HTML. An ID has to be unique in the whole HTML file.
When you use Javascript's document.getElementById() it depends on the browser, which element it will return, mostly it's the first with a given ID.
You will have no other chance as to re-assign your IDs, or alternatively using the class attribute.
