This article will help the user in adding rows to a table in ASP.NET and deleting multiple selected rows from the table using JavaScript.
Usage
Take a hidden control on the webpage ("hdhidden
") and set its default value to 1 and runat = server
. 1 is added to its value when a new row is added in a table but does not change when a row is deleted from the table. Following are the two functions which perform addition and deletion of rows in a table.
<script language="javascript">
function deleteTableRows()
{
var counts=parseInt(document.all("hdhidden").value);
//variable counts will contains the value of hidden control
//("hdhidden")
var i;
var a=0;
for(i=1;i<counts;i++)
{
itemCheck="chk_"+i;
//itemCheck contians the checkboxes id.
if(document.all[itemCheck]!=undefined)
{
//if itemCheck is not undefined then adding 1 in "a"
//value
a = a + 1;
//check whether is checkbox is checked or not
if(document.all[itemCheck].checked==true)
{
//if chekbox is checked then compare
//"a" with "i"
if(a!=i)
{
//if "a" is not equals to i then delete row
//from the table on the basis of "a" value.
tblvalue.deleteRow(a);
}
else
{
//else delete row from the table on the
//basis of "i" value.
tblvalue.deleteRow(i);
}
//less 1 from "i" and "a" values.
i = parseInt(i) - 1;
a = a - 1;
}
}
}
return false;
}
function AddItem()
{
var counts=parseInt(document.all("hdhidden").value);
//varibale counts will contains the value
//of hidden control (hdhidden)
var Row,Cell;
var CurrentPosition=parseInt(counts);
//asigned value of variable "counts" to varibale "CurrentPosition"
Row = window.tblvalue.insertRow();
Cell = Row.insertCell();
//insert a cell in a row;
//insert a checkbox in a cell with the name
//"chk_" as prefix + its current positon
//so thant checkbox has unique id
Cell.innerHTML="<input type=checkbox name=chk_" +
CurrentPosition +" id=chkbox_"+ CurrentPosition+"; value='C'>";
Cell = Row.insertCell();
//insert another cell to row
//insert a textbox in a cell with the name
//"txtval1_" as prefix + its current position
Cell.innerHTML="<input style=Font-size=11; type=Text name=txtval1_"
+ CurrentPosition +" id=txtval1_"+ CurrentPosition+>";
//insert another cell in a row
Cell = Row.insertCell();
//insert a textbox in a cell with the name
//"txtval2_" as prefix + its current position
Cell.innerHTML="<input style=Font-size=11; type=Text name=txtval2_" +
CurrentPosition +" id=txtval2_"+ CurrentPosition+>";
//update the value of hidden control (hdhidden) by adding 1
//to its previous value
document.all("hdhidden").value = parseInt(counts) + 1;
return false;
}
