the code in side form tag is :-

Quote:

<form name="criteria_frm" action="cutoff_act.php?group=$group" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="grp_id" value="<?php echo $group;?>">

**<input type="hidden" name="sub_cnt" value=?? > // i dnt knw how to show the changed value of created and deleted rows here

<input type="submit" onclick="return addRow(document.criteria_frm)" value="More">

<input type="submit" onclick="return removeRow(document.criteria_frm)" value="Fewer">

I'm not understanding exactly what you're asking, but those submit buttons should be changed to simply buttons or change your onclicks to onsubmits.

hi ...
my question is with every time i will click MORE button it should create a text box and combobox...
similary everytime i will click "FEWER" button it should remove the text box and combobox...
for different subject i hav to specify the cut of marks and display the result in another page...the subjects r in combo box and the cut of marks will b specified in text box...
if i want more than one subject marks to be displayed...
for that i need another combo box where subject is there and one more text box to specify marks.....
so for generatin that i hav MORE button....
I hav created a Table and inside that i am having the combo box and the Text box...
when i will click the button the action should take place in the table..
bt the code i hav specified is not workin....
when i am clickin the MORE button its goin to another page where result will be displayed

createElement() is used to do the operation
bt i want to know how i can create a text box and combo box inside the table with every time a button is click...

hi..
i hav got the solution for above problem...
but my new doubt is...
when i am clickin thr MORE button new combo box is gettin created but data is not there in it that was in 1st combo box...
the code is as follows :-

Quote:

function insRow()
{
var x=document.getElementById('mytab').insertRow(0)
var y=x.insertCell(0)
var z=x.insertCell(1)
var txt1=document.createElement("input");
var txt2=document.createElement("select");
txt1.size="5";
y.appendChild(txt1);
z.appendChild(txt2);
}

the code inside the form tag is :-

Quote:

here i hav inserted the data in combobox but actually the data is taken from DB and its inserted in combobox by using PHP tag....
if the above code works then it will work for the DB code in PHP tag also...
Waiting 4 the reply.......

MORE Button is working 90% fine

I hav 2 doubts :
1. How to delete a row from table when i will Click FEWER button
2. how to create a combo box with data present in it....
i hav to show the options in it by takin it from database...
i know php tag can be used to retrive the data ...

bt my problem is the new combobox which is gettin created by clicking MORE Button is not showing the options...

can any one provide me with a sample code for these two doubts..
Expectin REply...
