add textbox dymamically

Hii

I need to add textbox dynamically when I click "Add" button.

On clicking on button the textboxes are to be displayed one below the other.

I enter different text in different textboxes, when clicked submit button all the content in all the textboxes should be saved.

How can I achive this functionality?

Please help. Thank you.

A client-side action like this is done with JavaScript.

A JS library like Prototype or jQuery can be helpful, but you still have to write the code :slight_smile:

Or AJAX could be used.

Which is still JavaScript, but with a pointless (in this case) round-trip to the server :slight_smile:

It is probably correct that the round trip to the server is pointless, but not necessarily, we do not know enough about the requirement. Maybe the text boxes to be added depend on data the user has entered and in data in the database in some way that would make AJAX more appropriate.

Of course that's possible, but if so certainly not apparent in the OP's description of the task.

that might help
