function addRow() 
{ 
// grab the element, i.e. the table your editing, in this we're calling it 
// 'mySampleTable' and it is reffered to in the table further down on the page 
// with a unique of id of you guessed it, 'mySampleTable' 
var tbl = document.getElementById('mySampleTable'); 
// grab how many rows are in the table 
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length; 
  
// if there's no header row in the table (there should be, code at least one 
//manually!), then iteration = lastRow + 1 
var iteration = lastRow; 
// creates a new row 
var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow); 
  
// left cell 
// insert a cell 
var cellLeft = row.insertCell(0); 
// here we're just using numbering the cell, like anything else you don't 
// have to use this, but i've kinda noticed users tend to like them 
var textNode = document.createTextNode(iteration); 
// takes what we did (create the plain text number) and appends it the cell 
// we created in the row we created. NEAT! 
cellLeft.appendChild(textNode); 
  
// right cell 
// another cell!

// creating an element this time, specifically an input 
var el = document.createElement('input'); 
// a data type of text 
el.type = 'text'; 
// the name of the element txtRow, and because this is dynamic we also 
// append the row number to it, so for example if this is the eigth row 
// being created the text box will have the name of txtRow8. super fantastic. 
el.name = 'txtRow' + iteration; 
// the exact same thing with a unique id 
el.id = 'txtRow' + iteration; 
// set it to size of 40. setting sizes is good. 
el.size = 40; 
  
// same thing as earlier, append our element to our freshly and clean cell 
cellRight.appendChild(el); 
  
// select cell 
// our last cell! 
var cellRightSel = row.insertCell(2); 
// create another element, this time a select box 
var sel = document.createElement('select'); 
// name it, once again with an iteration (selRow8 using the example above) 
sel.name = 'selRow' + iteration; 
// crates options in an array 
// the Option() function takes the first parameter of what is being displayed 
// from within the drop down, and the second parameter of the value it is carrying over 
sel.options[0] = new Option('text zero', 'value0'); 
sel.options[1] = new Option('text one', 'value1'); 
sel.options[2] = new Option('text two', 'value2'); 
// append our new element containing new options to our new cell 
cellRightSel.appendChild(sel); 
} 
  
function removeRow() 
{ 
// grab the element again! 
var tbl = document.getElementById('mySampleTable'); 
// grab the length! 
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length; 
// delete the last row if there is more than one row! 
if (lastRow > 2) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);

Azegurb,

I can't quite understand :

a) What do you want to sum - free text (in the Title fields) can be concatenated but not summed.
b) What you want to do with the result?
c) Could the sum function be performed server-side after the form is submitted?

Hi Airshow
this table dynamically add rows (so that it creates empty textbox) with addrow button
I would like for ex. I added 10 rows (10 textbox) and i have one textbox (row) with a name sum. and when i pressed SUM button sum function sums all the textbox values into sum values.
if possible pls help me
Thanks beforehand

OK, but you need to take precautions to ensure that the entered values are numbers. The code below rejects non-numeric values and sums numeric values.

function sum(){
	var form = document.getElementById('eval_edit');
	if(!form) return;
	var fields = form.getElementsByTagName('input');
	var s = 0;//sum value
	for(var i=0; i<fields.length; i++){
		if( fields[i].getAttribute('sumMe') != "1" ) continue;//reject any field not carring the "sumMe" attribute
		var txt = fields[i].value;
		if(txt != ( '' + Number(txt) )) continue;//reject non-numeric entries
		s += Number(txt);
	}
	if(form['total']){ form['total'].value = s; }
}

You also need to make the following changes:

//-- Find
//el.size = 40;
//-- Add below
el.setAttribute('sumMe', "1");//set the custom "sumMe" attribute
//-- Find 
//if (lastRow > 2) tbl.deleteRow(lastRow - 1);
//-- Add below
sum();//Ensure that total is up to date after a deletion.
//-- Find
// </script>
//-- Add above
onload = function(){
	sum();
}
<!-- Change -->
<!--input type="text" name="txtRow1" id="txtRow1" size="40" /-->
<!-- To -->
<input sumMe="1" type="text" name="txtRow1" id="txtRow1" size="40" />

You will see that we use the custom HTML attribute sumMe to determine which input fields are subject to being summed.

Thank you very much
you helped me great
Let God helps you as you helped me

Hello, I have one question again if i dont disturb you
