Dynamic Forms

[Mighty]

I am trying to set up a situation where a new line of text boxes opens in a form once the previous one has been completed. Customers can order any number of products that they want and I need to have a dynamic number of fields available so that once one order has been made, a new set of fields appears for them to order another product if they wish.

That's not explained very well. I hope it can be understood.

Here is a new browser solution. It involves creating the new boxes, and appending them to the form node:


<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function createTextBox(Int_number){
var form = document.getElementById(&quot;F1&quot;

for(var j=0;j<Int_number;j++){
newText = document.createElement('input');
newText.setAttribute('type','text');
newText.setAttribute('size','20');
newText.setAttribute('name','text_'+j);

form.appendChild(newText);
}
}
</script>


You can obtain the desired number from someplace in your form - like another text box or whatever.
