Add more text fields to existing text fields.

Beginner javascipt/vbscript.

I hava a form, which has five lines to enter at start. I want to have a button to add more lines when it is clicked. However, I am having trouble with it. This is written in vbscipt and ADO.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Code: ( text )

<%

Const linesNo = 5

Dim counter
 
<html>

.....
 
<form action='return_form.asp' method=post>

<input type=hidden name='task' value='add'>

<table>

.....
 
<%
 if request("task")="lines" then

     linesNo = linesNo + 5

     response.write "return_forms.asp"     

end if 

counter = 0

Do While counter < linesNo

%>
 
<tr>

<td  width=20%><input type=text size="20" maxlength="30" name='part_no_<%=counter%>' value='<%=request("part_no_")%>'/></td>

</tr>
 
<%

counter = counter + 1

Loop    

%>
 
 <tr>

<td width=20%><form action='return_form.asp' method=post><input type=hidden name='task' value='lines'></form>

<input type=submit name='lines' value='Add Lines'></td>

</tr>
 
......................(some codes)

<tr>

<td></td>&nbsp;<td><input type=submit value="Save & Print"></td>

</tr>
 
</table>
 
</form>

Thanks

If you're using JavaScript to add text fields dynamically, you only need a normal button, not a submit one. In the onclick handler call a function that adds the fields, e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var textfield = document.createElement("input");

textfield.type = "text";

// set other properties such as name, id, value, etc.

// get element to append to

elem.appendChild(textfield);
