jQuery - Add a row to a table


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I posted this tutorial on my blog. It describes the use of jQuery and how to add a row to a table. Hopefully this will be one in many tutorials.

Feedback would be good, I did this in 10 minutes I had free whilst working. Helped me concentrate again.

When hooking into anchor tags, you should be returning false to stop the default action of navigating to the location in the href, even if it's only a #.

<body>

<table style="width: 100%" id="myTable">
 <tr><td>Row 1</td></tr>
 <tr><td>Row 2</td></tr>
 <tr><td>Row 3</td></tr>
</table>
<a href="#" name="addRow">Add Row</a>

</body>

Yes you are correct. This is what happens when you don't have that much time.

I shall add it when my network is working again.
