Answer 1

Working fiddle .

You have to use .append() instead of .html() when appending elements :

$('#new_chq').append(new_input);

It will be better to attach the event in your JS code like :

$('.add').on('click', add);
$('.remove').on('click', remove);

NOTE 1: Don't forget to increment the counter #total_chq :

$('#total_chq').val(new_chq_no);

NOTE 2: You've to use .remove() if you want to remove the element.

 $('.add').on('click', add); $('.remove').on('click', remove); function add() { var new_chq_no = parseInt($('#total_chq').val()) + 1; var new_input = "<input type='text' id='new_" + new_chq_no + "'>"; $('#new_chq').append(new_input); $('#total_chq').val(new_chq_no); } function remove() { var last_chq_no = $('#total_chq').val(); if (last_chq_no > 1) { $('#new_' + last_chq_no).remove(); $('#total_chq').val(last_chq_no - 1); } }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="text"> <button class="add">Add</button> <button class="remove">remove</button> <div id="new_chq"></div> <input type="hidden" value="1" id="total_chq">

 function add(){ var new_chq_no = parseInt($('#total_chq').val())+1; var new_input="<input type='text' id='new_"+new_chq_no+"'>"; $('#new_chq').append(new_input); $('#total_chq').val(new_chq_no) } function remove(){ var last_chq_no = $('#total_chq').val(); if(last_chq_no>1){ $('#new_'+last_chq_no).remove(); $('#total_chq').val(last_chq_no-1); } }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="text"> <button onclick="add()">Add</button> <button onclick="remove()">remove</button> <div id="new_chq"></div> <input type="hidden" value="1" id="total_chq">

 $('.add').on('click', add); $('.remove').on('click', remove); function add() { var new_chq_no = parseInt($('#total_chq').val()) + 1; var new_input = "<input type='text' id='new_" + new_chq_no + "'>"; $('#new_chq').append(new_input); $('#total_chq').val(new_chq_no); } function remove() { var last_chq_no = $('#total_chq').val(); if (last_chq_no > 1) { $('#new_' + last_chq_no).remove(); $('#total_chq').val(last_chq_no - 1); } }

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <input type="text"> <button class="add">Add</button> <button class="remove">remove</button> <div id="new_chq"></div> <input type="hidden" value="1" id="total_chq">
