add row dynamically in a table which contains textfields,button.

hi there,

i've some serious problem to add rows dynamically in a table.
my table contains 5 cell.

| check | from_value | to_value | color_text | color_value |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | | | |
|
| | | | |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1st cell contains checkbox.
2nd....................a textfield.
3rd.....................a textfield.
4th .....................a textfield and a button(colorpicker
button--by clicking i can select color from popup window and the
hexcode is placed in the textfield of this cell and the corresponding
decimal value is placed to the 5th cell's textfield.)

5th cell contains a textfield.

i've done this.the code is ok for my table when it contains a single
row(my table always contains a single row).
when i add rows by clicking addRow button from this page the rows are
added but i can't get the hexvalue and corresponding decimal value the
4th & 5th cell's textfield for the newly added rows.what's happening,
selecting the color from the popup for newly added rows affect the 1st
row's 4th & 5th cell's textfields.

my script is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function addRow()
{
alert("called addRow");
var totalRow = document.all.colordef_tab.rows.length;
alert("total row:"+totalRow);

var row = document.all.colordef_tab.insertRow();
var cell_1 = row.insertCell();
var cell_2 = row.insertCell();
var cell_3 = row.insertCell();
var cell_4 = row.insertCell();
var cell_5 = row.insertCell();

cell_1.innerHTML = '<input type="checkbox" name="deleteflag"
id="deleteflag" value="">'+
'<input type="hidden" name="frm_colordefid"
value="">';
cell_2.innerHTML = '<input type="text" align="left"
name="frm_fromvalue" value="">';
cell_3.innerHTML = '<input type="text" align="left"
name="frm_tovalue" value="">';
cell_4.innerHTML = '<input type="text" name="frm_colortext"
id="result_ids" value="" readonly >'+
'<input id="button_id" type=button
onClick="ColorChooser(\'button_id\', \'result_ids\',\'value\')"
value="color">';
cell_5.innerHTML = '<input type="text" align="left"
name="frm_colorvalue" id="dest_id" value="" readonly>';

}

and my jsp is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<table width="100%" id="colordef_tab" border="1">

You are using constant ids and names for your newly added elements.
Thus, if you add two rows, the input elements of the second row won't
have correct ids, since ids must be unique.

However, the ColorChooser() function probably references the elements
by their id, and thus it cannot correctly reference the elements with
the duplicate ids.

You can use some counter to create unique ids before adding the row to
the document.

Your code is IE-specific here.

Accessing Elements with the W3C DOM

"You should not use the two proprietary DOMs, Netscape's document.layers
or Microsoft's document.all, any more, though. Safari doesn't support
these DOMs, and neither does Mozilla. Use the Document.getElementById
DOM instead."

Just like another poster said, if your addRow() function is called more
than once (and it should be called more than once according to you),
then several form controls will have the same id ... which is wrong from
a markup perspective and from a DHTML/javascript perspective.

By specifying width="100%", you are constraining the table. This is
important to understand in particular if later your table has layout issues.
[color=blue]
> <tr class="list">
> <td width="5%" align="left" class="style7"
> scope="col">Delete</td>[/color]

If that row is a table column header, then you should use <th> instead.
In any case, the default horizontal alignment of <td> (left) and <th>
(center) makes it unneeded to specify the alignment in all modern browsers.

It is proprietary but it is not "IE-specific". Opera supports it (in IE
spoof mode) and when not being feature detected some of the Gecko based
browsers support it to a limited extent. :-)

re: add row dynamically in a table which contains textfields,button.

Hi Nils Bandener,

u r correct. i've change my script.now there is no prob in addRow()
script.but still have a problem in HexToDec( ) script which is called
from colorchooser function.i've marked the script code where my problem
is.please check my code.......

function addRow()

Uhm, it's quite hard for me to give an exact answer, just because
you've posted quite a lot of code. However, just a quick guess:
frm_colortext is probably an array, because the element name (not the
id!) is still not unique.

You have to possibilities:

1. You could try to add the index also to the element name, just like
you did it for the id. Of course, you have to change all references to
the element and all the places where you create the element.

2. Do not reference the element by name, but by id. This would be
something like

hexvalue = document.getElementById("result_id"+index).value;

Note however, that using this method, some other issues might remain
due to the duplicate names. One candidate for those issues might be
submitting the form, because you'll have to use the element names to
reference the values on the server side.

The sixteen of those can be replaced by

charArray[i] = parseInt(charArray[i], 16) // AFAICS.
