Hi all,
please, help me with jquery - I'm totally amateur in javascript.
I use script to assign the value to item selected from html select box.
The second script adds row into my form.
The first row works o.k. but if I´m adding another rows, only value from the first row is functional.
Thanks for any advice. Petr

Petr,

You will have more success by working with ids rather than classes.

With classes, a statement like $(".price")....... will match ALL elements where class="price" .

With ids, a statement like $("#price_0")....... will match ONE element where id="price_0" .

On creating a new row, you should ensure that appropriate elements are given unique ids, for example by appending _0, _1, _2 etc. to a basic id.

You also need to introduce a means of attaching your "change" handler to the select menu in each new row as it is created. Without this, the desired functionality will not happen in new rows.

Personally, I would coordinate everything (adding rows and responding to user events) within a single $(document).ready(function(){} structure. It will look something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
	var rowIndex = 0;
	var message = {
		Acoustic : "3000",
		Electric : "500"
	};

	var modelSelect = function(){
		var val = this[this.selectedIndex].value;
		$('#price_'+this.rowIndex).val(message[val]);//"this" is the select menu that has just been changed by the user.
		$("#message_display").text(message[val]);//Not sure about message_display. Assume there's just one for the whole page.
	};

	//Set up the first row, served as HTML.
	$("#item_select_0").attr( {rowIndex:0} );//Set attribute that tells the select menu its unique reference number
	$("#item_select_0").change(modelSelect);//Attach onchange event handler.

	$("#addRow").click( function(){
		//Arrange for btnAddRow (in addition to creating and appending the new row) to return a reference to the new selectMenuObj that is included in the new row.
		var selectMenu = btnAddRow(++rowIndex);//Pass in incremented rowIndex so btnAddRow can append to base id.
		selectMenu.rowIndex = rowIndex;//Set attribute so the new select menu has a reference to its unique reference number
		selectMenu.onchange = modelSelect;//Attach onchange event handler to the new row's selectMenu.
	});

	$("#delRow").click( function(){ btnDelRow(); });
});
</script>

NOTE: Not tested and still plenty of work to do in btnAddRow().
