I have been trying to dynamically append HTML input forms using a JS function to a webpage but am having trouble inserting them into the correct location. I have tried to create an empty div tag on line 40:
<div class="itemInfo"></div>
However, when I try to locate that tag from within my JS function, with the findElementById() function it seems not to find it. I want to create a copy of the three input forms above the empty tag I created and append them underneath, but no matter what I have tried I have not been able to figure out how to put the forms in that exact location. My JS function is as follows:
function newItem(){
instance++;
var oldInput = document.getElementById("itemInfo");
var newDiv = document.createElement("INPUT");
newDiv.name = "myinput";
newDiv.value = "Enter Here";
oldInput.insertBefore(newDiv);
}
Rather than creating the forms again in this function, I would like to duplicate the following and simply append it after itself:
<p>Item: <input type="text" name="item"/>
Qty: <input type="text" name="qty"/>
Color: <input type="text" name="color"/></p>
<input type ="button" value="Add Item" onclick="newItem();"/>
<div class="itemInfo"></div>
I tried to wrap the three forms in a tag and calling that by Id, but it did not seem to work either, which is why I tried to make an empty tag after it. I have searched everywhere and there is a lot of information regarding similar issues but I can't seem to apply the solutions to my situation. I really appreciate any help. Here is the entire page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type ="text/javascript">
var instance = 0;
function newItem(){
instance++;
var oldInput = document.getElementById("itemInfo");
var newDiv = document.createElement("INPUT");
newDiv.name = "myinput";
newDiv.value = "Enter Here";
oldInput.insertBefore(newDiv);
}
</script>

I changed your Javascript to this
function newItem(){
newInput="<p>Item: <input type="+"text"+" name="+"item"+"/></p>";
document.getElementById("itemInfo").innerHTML=newInput;
}
Here's a working FIDDLE
You are trying to use the function document.getElementById("itemInfo");
which looks for the id itemInfo
. There is no element with the id itemInfo
in your page. Create the div
as follows:
<div class="itemInfo" id="itemInfo"></div>
This should help you get a reference of the div
element.
EDIT: The Error is in the function, node.insertBefore(new Element,reference Element);
is the correct function.
