creating more textboxes on the same form

bells · Feb 28, 2004

Hello

I have a form which is holding
a text box where users will type a number inside
once they type that number (let say 5) then
other 5 text boxes will appear on the same form below
what should i do to do this i know i need to do
looping(for...Next) the problem i have is to get the value from
the txet box and make the other appear on the same form
thanx in advance

two way...client side and server side

I would choose clinet side as it would be more efficient
eg: DOM

or if you wanted on the server it would be fairly simple. just set the form up in a condition if or case on a form object being passed..(the number they want)

if the request.form value is more then "" then loop reiterating to the number
eg:

Code:

If request.form("userCount") <> "" Then
Dim x : x = 0
  Do While x <= request.form("userCount")
     response.write "<input type=""text"" name=" & Chr(34) & x & "name" & Chr(34) & ">"
  x = x + 1
  Loop
Else
     response.write "<input type=""text"" name=""userCount"">    
etc...

You can use this also

Code:

<script>
function add()
{
	var frm=document.forms[0]
	var store=document.getElementById("store")
	if(frm.nrin.value!=""&&!isNaN(frm.nrin.value))
	{
		nr=new Number(frm.nrin.value)
		for (i=0;i<nr;i++)
			store.innerHTML+="<input name='val'><br>"
	}
}
</script>
<body>
<form>
	<input name="nrin" size=2><input type=button value="Add" onclick="add()">
	<div name="store" id="store"></div>
</form>
</body>
