Adding rows to tbody of a table using jQuery

问题:

I am trying to add rows to the tbody of a table. But I am having issues with achieving that. Firstly, the function where everything takes place is called on change of a dropdown from a html page. I created a tr string containing all the td inside that containing the html elements, text and other stuff. But when I am trying to add that generated row to the table using:

$(newRowContent).appendTo("#tblEntAttributes tbody");

I am encountering an error. The name of the table is tblEntAttributes and I am trying to add it to the tbody.

Actually what's happening is jQuery is unable to get tblEntAttributes as an html element. But I can access it using documemt.getElementById("tblEntAttributes");

Is there any way I can achieve this by adding rows to the tbody of the table. Maybe a bypass or something.

Here's the entire code:

var newRowContent = "<tr><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"" + chkboxId + "\" value=\"" + chkboxValue + "\"></td><td>" + displayName + "</td><td>" + logicalName + "</td><td>" + dataType + "</td><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" name=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" value=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\"></td><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" name=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" value=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\"></td></tr>";

$("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(newRowContent); 

One thing I forgot to mention is the function where this code is written is actually the success callback function for a ajax call. I am able to access the table using document.getElementById("tblEntAttributes") but for some reason $(#tblEntAttributes) doesn't seem to work.

回答1:

("#tblEntAttributes tbody")

needs to be

$("#tblEntAttributes tbody").

You are not selecting the element with the correct syntax

Here's an example of both

$(newRowContent).appendTo($("#tblEntAttributes"));

and

$("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(newRowContent);

working http://jsfiddle.net/xW4NZ/

回答2:

use this

$("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(newRowContent);

I have never ever come across such a strange problem like this! o.O

Do you know what the problem was? $ isn't working. I tried the same code with jQuery like jQuery("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(newRowContent); and it works like a charm!

No idea why this strange problem occurs!

回答4:

As @wirey said appendTo should work, if not then you can try this:

$("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(newRowContent);

回答5:

Here is an appendTo version using the html dropdown you mentioned. It inserts another row on "change".

$('#dropdown').on( 'change', function(e) {
    $('#table').append('<tr><td>COL1</td><td>COL2</td></tr>');
});

With an example for you to play with. Best of luck!

With Lodash you can create a template and you can do that following way:

    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-12">
                <table id="tblEntAttributes" class="table">
                    <tbody>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                chkboxId
                            </td>
                            <td>
                               chkboxValue
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                displayName
                            </td>
                            <td>
                               logicalName
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                dataType
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </tbody>
                </table>
                <button class="btn btn-primary" id="test">appendTo</button>
            </div>
        </div>
     </div>

And here goes the javascript:

        var count = 1;
        window.addEventListener('load', function () {
            var compiledRow = _.template("<tr><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"<%= chkboxId %>\" value=\"<%= chkboxValue %>\"></td><td><%= displayName %></td><td><%= logicalName %></td><td><%= dataType %></td><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" name=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" value=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\"></td><td><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" name=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\" value=\"chkAllPrimaryAttrs\"></td></tr>");
            document.getElementById('test').addEventListener('click', function (e) {
                var ajaxData = { 'chkboxId': 'chkboxId-' + count, 'chkboxValue': 'chkboxValue-' + count, 'displayName': 'displayName-' + count, 'logicalName': 'logicalName-' + count, 'dataType': 'dataType-' + count };
                var tableRowData = compiledRow(ajaxData);
                $("#tblEntAttributes tbody").append(tableRowData);
                count++;
            });
        });
