By default I have 5 textboxes. When a user clicks on a button, one textbox should be added.
How could I do this?

If you replace the innerHTML, the previously entered values will be cleared, to avoid that, you can append the input elements programmatically:
var input = document.createElement('input');
input.type = "text";
//...
container.appendChild(input);
Check this example.
Javascript Function
function add() {
//Create an input type dynamically.
var element = document.createElement("input");
//Create Labels
var label = document.createElement("Label");
label.innerHTML = "New Label";
//Assign different attributes to the element.
element.setAttribute("type", "text");
element.setAttribute("value", "");
element.setAttribute("name", "Test Name");
element.setAttribute("style", "width:200px");
label.setAttribute("style", "font-weight:normal");
// 'foobar' is the div id, where new fields are to be added
var foo = document.getElementById("fooBar");
//Append the element in page (in span).
foo.appendChild(label);
foo.appendChild(element);
}
Html part,
<button id="button" value="Add" onClick:"javascript:add();">
And, Its done!
<script>
function add()
{
document.getElementById("place").innerHTML="<input type='text' value=''>"
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="clickMe" onClick="add();">
<div id="place"></div>
<script>
function add()
{
var inpt = document.getElementById('input_template');
inpt.parentNode.appendChild(inpt.cloneNode(false));
}
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="add();">
set id=input_template to one of the predefined textboxes
Best would be to attach an event on to the onclick
of the button, that will set a div's visibility to inline
. This is about the best way I can see for this, considering flexibility and robustness.
Have a look here for example code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Web Page</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">Click me!</button>
<script>
var count =0;
function myFunction() {
count++
document.write('Lable1');
document.write('<input type="text" name="one+count">');
document.write('Lable2');
document.write('<input type="text" name="two+count">');
document.write('Lable3');
document.write('<input type="text" name="three+count">');
document.write('Lable4');
document.write('<input type="text" name="four+count">');
document.write(count);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
try this
<html>
<head>
<title>Dynamic Form</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" >
function changeIt()
{
createTextbox.innerHTML = createTextbox.innerHTML +"<br><input type='text' name='mytext' >"
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form">
<input type="button" value="clickHere" onClick="changeIt()">
<div id="createTextbox"></div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
