JS CODE

<script type="text/javascript">
    // Add a new repeating section
    var attrs = ['for', 'id', 'name'];

    function resetAttributeNames(section) {
        var tags = section.find('input, label'), idx = section.index();
        tags.each(function () {
            var $this = $(this);
            $.each(attrs, function (i, attr) {
                var attr_val = $this.attr(attr);
                if (attr_val) {
                    $this.attr(attr, attr_val.replace(/_\d+$/, '_' + (idx + 1)))
                }
            })
        })
    }

    $('.addFight').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var lastRepeatingGroup = $('.repeatingSection').last();
        var cloned = lastRepeatingGroup.clone(true)
        cloned.insertAfter(lastRepeatingGroup);
        resetAttributeNames(cloned)
    });

    // Delete a repeating section
    $('.deleteFight').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var current_fight = $(this).parent('div');
        var other_fights = current_fight.siblings('.repeatingSection');
        if (other_fights.length === 0) {
            alert("You should atleast have one fight");
            return;
        }
        current_fight.slideUp('slow', function () {
            current_fight.remove();

            // reset fight indexes
            other_fights.each(function () {
                resetAttributeNames($(this));
            })

        })


    });



</script>

in this name of input fields is like name="fighter_a_id_1" and for replacing the expression is $this.attr(attr, attr_val.replace(/_\\d+$/, '_' + (idx)))

i want the input field names like name="Jobs[0].AssignedTo" and i want to increase the number so how to write the expression ,i need such name because it is required for asp.net mvc

so please help me with this...!

Answer 1

try this

you can use data-* attribute as a name and id template, while cloning that element you can replace it with number you want

 function AddControl(){ var inpt = $(".dummyinput").clone(); var IdCount = 0; $(inpt).addClass("workinginput").removeClass("dummyinput"); IdCount = $(".workinginput").length; $(inpt).attr("id",$(inpt).data("id").replace("__ID__",IdCount)); $(inpt).attr("name",$(inpt).data("name").replace("__NAME__",IdCount)); $("div").append($(inpt)); } AddControl(); AddControl(); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type='text' class='dummyinput' data-id='controlId[__ID__]' data-name='controlName[__NAME__]'> <div> </div>

这对我有用

$this.attr(attr, attr_val.replace(/\[\d\]/,'['+(idx)+']'))
