</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function add_field(a){
	
		// create a div element
		var div1 = document.createElement('div');
		// Get template data
		if(a==1){
		div1.innerHTML = document.getElementById('fieldtpl').innerHTML;
}
		// append to div, so that template data becomes part of document
		document.getElementById('addhere').appendChild(div1);

	
}
</script>
<?php
$i=0;
?>
<form method="post" action="formaction.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
    <div id="addhere">

<!-- Template. This whole data will be added directly to working div above -->  
<div id="fieldtpl" style="display:none">

actually formaction.php that i made was to display result that i entered in the form's textbox.....

Member Avatar for erza26

i've get the code to add textbox onclick...but when i click submit button, the data
from added textbox did not insert into database...and also there is error said:
Error: Unknown column 'Array' in 'field list'...what it mean???

Member Avatar for tomato.pgn

In the loop just add sql query and it will work fine...i did this a long ago and it was working fine....
