I need to add input boxes to a page onclick of a button, I have written the following jquery script. It adds one input box when clicked the first time but does not repeat adding.
<script type="text/javascript">
function addInput(){
$('#fileinput').html('<label>Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />');
}
</script>
can some one please help me to modify the code so that it will add an input box each time the button is clicked.
$('#buttonID').click(function(){
$('#fileinput').html($('#fileinput').html()+'<label>Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />');
});
or use append as others suggested
$('#buttonID').click(function(){
$('#fileinput').append('<label>Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />');
});
Your code currently replaces the existing HTML in your #fileInput element with the same HTML. What you probably want to use is the append() method.
function addInput(){
$('#fileinput').append('<label>Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />');
}
try using append instead of html: http://api.jquery.com/append/
<script type="text/javascript">
function addInput(){
$('#fileinput').append('<label>Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />');
}
</script>
That's because you're not adding to the HTML each time, you're simply setting it to show the single input.
