.add() with a table data a few questsions since it's not workign for me.

in Using jQuery • 13 years ago

OK here's the exact code right here. I don't know why it's not working for me. I click on it and it's not adding it to itself. I've looked over it but i think it may be an append issue, but the problem is that i thought it'd just add itself all nice and calmly.

<div>
<table>
<tr><td class="objective">Objective:<input type="text"></td></tr>
</div>
<script>
$(".objective").click(function () {
$(this).add("<td class='objective'>Objective:<input type='text'></td>");
});
</script>

Any help is greatly appreciated.

my guess is this is what you want

couple of things that i changed:

.add is meant to add every element that matches the selector which was passed as an argument to the jQuery object it is called from.

So if you take the following code

$(".input").add("p.output");

the resulting jQuery object would "contain" all the <input> elements and all the <p class="output"> elements

the table wasn't closed which can cause unexpected behavior.

And i used .parent because you can't add <td>'s in <td>'s

I was thinking that i'd have to do some sort of appending but wasn't sure how to do it thanks for all of the help.
