Dynamically Add/Remove rows in HTML table using JavaScript

A good web design involves the better user interaction and ability to fetch the data in a better way. For fetching user data, you may have to create a form wherein user can add multiple entries and submit them simultaneously.

Thus for this you will need a way to add or remove fields dynamically into the HTML page. In my previous article, I had discussed about the way one can add dynamic form components into the web page.

In this article we will create a user interface where user can add/delete multiple rows in a form using JavaScript.

First check the user interface.

In this example, we have created a table which will display our html components. On pressing Add Row, a dynamic row will be created and added in the table. And on selecting the checkbox and pressing Delete Row, the row will be removed.

Following is the source.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <TITLE> Add/Remove dynamic rows in HTML table </TITLE>
    <SCRIPT language="javascript">
        function addRow(tableID) {
            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
            var rowCount = table.rows.length;
            var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
 
            var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
            var element1 = document.createElement("input");
            element1.type = "checkbox";
            element1.name="chkbox[]";
            cell1.appendChild(element1);
 
            var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
            cell2.innerHTML = rowCount + 1;
 
            var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
            var element2 = document.createElement("input");
            element2.type = "text";
            element2.name = "txtbox[]";
            cell3.appendChild(element2);
        }
 
        function deleteRow(tableID) {
            try {
            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
            var rowCount = table.rows.length;
 
            for(var i=0; i<rowCount; i++) {
                var row = table.rows[i];
                var chkbox = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
                if(null != chkbox && true == chkbox.checked) {
                    table.deleteRow(i);
                    rowCount--;
                    i--;
                }
            }
            }catch(e) {
                alert(e);
            }
        }
    </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
    <INPUT type="button" value="Add Row" οnclick="addRow('dataTable')" />
    <INPUT type="button" value="Delete Row" οnclick="deleteRow('dataTable')" />
    <TABLE id="dataTable" width="350px" border="1">
        <TR>
            <TD><INPUT type="checkbox" name="chk"/></TD>
            <TD> 1 </TD>
            <TD> <INPUT type="text" /> </TD>
        </TR>
    </TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

For adding dynamic row in table, we have used insertRow() method. This method will insert a row at position specified by the index arguement. Also for removing row, we have used deleteRow() method.
Note that for inserting dynamic row, we have to created cells by using row.insertCell() method.

Add/Remove rows from table having Drop Down List

What if my table has a selectbox or drop down list and I want to implement add/remove row functionality? A lot of people asked me this question (you can check comment section), so I thought to update this article and add one more case. Adding / Removing rows in a table having drop down list.

Following is the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <TITLE> Add/Remove dynamic rows in HTML table </TITLE>
    <SCRIPT language="javascript">
        function addRow(tableID) {
 
            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
 
            var rowCount = table.rows.length;
            var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);
 
            var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;
 
            for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {
 
                var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
 
                newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
                //alert(newcell.childNodes);
                switch(newcell.childNodes[0].type) {
                    case "text":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].value = "";
                            break;
                    case "checkbox":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].checked = false;
                            break;
                    case "select-one":
                            newcell.childNodes[0].selectedIndex = 0;
                            break;
                }
            }
        }
 
        function deleteRow(tableID) {
            try {
            var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
            var rowCount = table.rows.length;
 
            for(var i=0; i<rowCount; i++) {
                var row = table.rows[i];
                var chkbox = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
                if(null != chkbox && true == chkbox.checked) {
                    if(rowCount <= 1) {
                        alert("Cannot delete all the rows.");
                        break;
                    }
                    table.deleteRow(i);
                    rowCount--;
                    i--;
                }
 
 
            }
            }catch(e) {
                alert(e);
            }
        }

                <SELECT name="country">

                    <OPTION value="de">Germany</OPTION>
                    <OPTION value="fr">France</OPTION>
                    <OPTION value="us">United States</OPTION>
                    <OPTION value="ch">Switzerland</OPTION>

Check the addRow() method in above code. I have edited this piece of code from our previous example. The addRow() method iterates through all the columns and copy the content of 1st column to new column. This way a new row is created which is exact copy of 1st row. Also the switch{} case in the code make sure that the value are not copied as it is. For example, if you have entered text “abc” in textbox of 1st row and you press Add Row button, the new row will be added and the textbox of this new row will have value “abc”. So to make sure the values are not copied, we have added the switch{} code.

You may want to comment the switch{} code if the copying of the values in newly added row if desired to you.
