HTML5 Create an array of textboxes dynamically and set text of the text box

Question

I have a div of list of words displayed in textboxes

<div id = "rightbox" ondrop="drop(event)" ondragover="allowDrop(event)">
    <div><input type="text" id="appleword" value="apple" class="textbox" readonly="ture" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)"></div>
    <div><input type="text" id="orangeword" value="orange" class="textbox" readonly="ture" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)"></div>
    <div><input type="text" id="peachword" value="peach" class="textbox" readonly="ture" draggable="true" ondragstart="drag(event)"></div>
</div>

Needs help on creating similar text boxes(in array) dynamically with different values.

Answer 1

var words = ['apple', 'orange', 'peach'], // add more to array if needed
    newInputs = document.createDocumentFragment(); // fragment to collect new inputs

// Loop through array of words and generate inputs
words.forEach(function (word) {
    var wrapper = document.createElement('div'),
        fieldSet = document.createElement('fieldset'),
        input = document.createElement('input'); // Inputs default to type=text

    // Decorate elements with needed attributes here (abbreviated)
    wrapper.id = word + 'word';
    input.id = word + 'input';
    input.setAttribute('value', word);
    input.setAttribute('class', 'textbox');
    input.readOnly = true;

    // Nest all these elements and add them to the fragment
    newInputs.appendChild(wrapper).appendChild(fieldSet).appendChild(input);
});

// Insert the fragment into the DOM
document.getElementById('rightbox').appendChild(newInputs)

Adjust code as needed to add missing attributes and event handlers. If you have to support anything older than IE9 change the forEach loop to a for loop.
