problem with placing the dynamically created textbox

11 New Member
I have got a Html form with a table.
The table contains textfield and a button.
When I click the button I want another textfiled to be created.
(I have done till here)

The problem is that I want the new textfield to be created in the same cell (within <TD> tag) where the first textfield is. I have tried to use <span> tag so as to force the new textfield to be created in the table cell. But I could not succeed.
My code goes as follows:


<html>
<head>
<title>testin g</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

var counter = 0;

function createTextField (name, id, parentEl) {
if(navigator.us erAgent.toLower Case().indexOf( "msie") != -1) { isIE = true; } else { isIE = false; }

if(isIE) {
newInput = document.create Element('<INPUT name=\''+(name+ counter)+'\'>') ;
} else {
newInput = document.create Element('INPUT' );
newInput.name = name + counter;
newInput.size = 10;
}

newInput.type = 'text';
newInput.id = id + counter;

if(parentEl && parentEl != "") {
if(typeof(paren tEl) == "string") {
parentEl = document.getEle mentById(parent El);
}
parentEl.append Child(newInput) ;
parentEl.append Child(document. createElement(' BR')); // break line
} else {
document.body.a ppendChild(newI nput);
document.body.a ppendChild(docu ment.createElem ent('BR')); // break line
}

counter++;
}


</script>

</head>
<body>


<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="username" id="user" size="20" value="" /><span id="putInputEle mentsHere"></span></td>
<td><input type="button" value="More" onClick="create TextField('myIn put', 'myInputId', '');" /></td>
</tr>

</table>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
</body>
</html>

Hi you just need to complete the function call here:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input type="button" value="More" onClick="createTextField('myInput', 'myInputId', '');" />
by entering the ID of the element you want to insert the textbox into, ie:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <input type="button" value="More" onClick="createTextField('myInput', 'myInputId', 'putInputElementsHere');" />
Cheers

sorry for disturbing . I got my mistake .
The corrected code is:
[HTML]<html>
<head>
<title>testin g</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

var counter = 0;

function createTextField (name, id, parentEl) {
if(navigator.us erAgent.toLower Case().indexOf( "msie") != -1) { isIE = true; } else { isIE = false; }

if(isIE) {
newInput = document.create Element('<INPUT name=\''+(name+ counter)+'\'>') ;
} else {
newInput = document.create Element('INPUT' );
newInput.name = name + counter;
newInput.size = 10;
}

newInput.type = 'text';
newInput.id = id + counter;

if(parentEl && parentEl != "") {
if(typeof(paren tEl) == "string") {
parentEl = document.getEle mentById(parent El);
}
parentEl.append Child(newInput) ;
parentEl.append Child(document. createElement(' BR')); // break line
} else {
document.body.a ppendChild(newI nput);
document.body.a ppendChild(docu ment.createElem ent('BR')); // break line
}

counter++;
}


</script>

</head>
<body>


<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="username" id="user" size="10" value="" /><span id="putInputEle mentsHere"></span></td>
<td><input type="button" value="More" onClick="create TextField('myIn put', 'myInputId', 'putInputElemen tsHere');" /></td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>
</html>[/HTML]

All, I created dynamically part of a table and its components such as text boxes etc... As you can see in the example below I created txtAddress textbox... Everything works perfectly until the point where I need to save the textbox input (normally I would use txtAddress.Text). But in my btnContinue_Click class I can't because It's out of the scope. Question: How can I access the dynamically created textboxes and save the inputs?
