Javascript Duplicate a div in html and get the values from duplicated div's in form submit
codeigniter, javascript, jquery
Solution
<?php echo form_open("vehicle/addparts");?>
<div class="row" id="addparts">
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<select class="form-control input-medium" name="parts[]">
<option value="">select disabled>Select Parts</option>
<option value="a">A</option>
<option value="b">B</option>
<option value="c">C</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label">Quantity</label>
<input type="text" name="partsquantity[]" id="partsquantity">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row" id="div_button">
<input type="button" name="addmore" value="Add More" id="addMore">
</div>
<?php echo form_close();?>
rename the of the inputs to be array so that if you submit the form it will submit all the input elements
you will receive a array of values with particular naming groupings
javascript
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var id = 1;
// get item
var item = $("#addparts");
var before = $('#div_button');
// initalize event click
$('#addMore').on('click', function() {
// clone addparts
var clone = item.clone(true);
// remove id
clone.attr('id', '');
// add class duplicate
clone.attr('class', 'duplicate');
// insert duplicate before button div
before.before(clone);
});
});
</script>
enter code here
Problem
In my codeigniter view, I've a div containing a select box and a textbox. Also there is an 'Add more' button. My task is to duplicate this whole div when the add more button is clicked and when I submit the form I need to get the field values from the original div and duplicated div's. How Can I accomplish this? I tried duplicating div using jquery clone method. But couldn't find the solution. Here is the code what I tried so far: ``` <?php echo form_open("vehicle/addparts");?> <div class="row" id="addparts"> <div class="col-md-6"> <div class="form-group"> <select class="form-control input-medium" name="parts"> <option value="">select disabled>Select Parts</option> <option value="a">A</option> <option value="b">B</option> <option value="c">C</option> </select> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <div class="form-group"> <label class="control-label">Quantity</label> <input type="text" name="partsquantity" id="partsquantity"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <input type="button" name="addmore" value="Add More" onClick="duplicate"> </div> <?php echo form_close();?> Javascript: <script> function duplicate() { var original = document.getElementById('addparts'); var clone = original.cloneNode(true); clone.id = "duplic"; document.bodey.append(clone); } </script> ```
