This is my first post on this site so hopefully you will go easy on me. I'm trying to create an HTML / PHP form and use a small piece of Javascript to add additional rows to a table when a button is clicked and increment the ID for the two fields.
The button works in adding the rows however it doesn't seem to increment the ID, just use the same ID as the previous row. Hopefully someone could help?
$(window).load(function(){
var table = $('#productanddates')[0];
var newIDSuffix = 2;
$(table).delegate('#button2', 'click', function () {
var thisRow = $(this).closest('tr')[0];
var cloned = $(thisRow).clone();
cloned.find('input, select').each(function () {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
id = id.substring(0, id.length - 1) + newIDSuffix;
$(this).attr('id', id);
});
cloned.insertAfter(thisRow).find('input:date').val('');
newIDSuffix++;
});
});

.find('input:date')to.find('input.date')and addingclass="date"to your date input.newIDSuffixin Global JavaScript instead of in the function$(window).load?idattributes in the form elements. Not only is it a best practice to have a label tied to each input by matching the labelsforattribute to the inputsid, it is absolutely essential for any kind of accessability support (i.e., for screen readers).
