JQuery Checkbox generation
- by Hash
I have used the following code to generate some dynamic checkboxes. This works for the first time and adds the check box chk2 to the page and then after the trigger for the
$('#newLink').click is not working. Please help me with this.
<div id="chkBoxesDiv">
<input type="checkbox" id="chk1" ></input>
<input id="answerText" type="text" size="30" ></input>
<input type="button" value="add new" id="newLink"/>
</div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#newLink').click(function (event){
var i = 0;
//To count the children
$("#chkBoxesDiv").children().each(function(){
var child = $(this);
if(child.is(":checkbox")){
i++;
}
});
//prevent action
event.preventDefault();
//get textbox value to fill checkbox
var text = $("#answerText").val();
alert(i);
//if text not empty do stuff
if(text != ""){
//add label
$("#chk"+i).after("<label for=\"chk"+i+"\" id=\"lblchk"+i+"\">"+text+"</label>");
$("#newLink").remove();
$("#answerText").remove();
$("#lblchk1").after("<br /><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"chk"+(1+i)+"\" ></input><input type=\"text\" id=\"answerText\" size=\"30\" ></input> <input type=\"button\" value=\"add new\" id=\"newLink\"/>");
}
});
});
