Solution 2

When a document is written it changes something called the DOM (Document Object Model). If you add things to the document via javascript then parts of the DOM don't get updated. One thing that doesn't is document / script references. As far as the document is concerned, the item: '<button id="btn" onclick="getdata()">GET</button>' is just an element without javascript.

You can create your own javascript references by adding the event within javascript:

JavaScript

document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", function(e) {
	getdata()
});

note this line in your code:
span.innerHTML = '<button id="btn" onclick="getdata()">GET</button>';
change it to
span.innerHTML = '<button id="btn">GET</button>';
add the code snippet below

Member 13296172 13-Jul-17 7:25am

here is js fiddle for my code https://jsfiddle.net/x4j6s99d/

Andy Lanng 13-Jul-17 7:51am

Well, I've fixed that up as best as I can: https://jsfiddle.net/x4j6s99d/6/
At the end you're trying to access the innerHtml of a textbox? There is no inner html

Solution 1

Remove the line where the function is called (btw: look up self calling function)

add this line at the top:

JavaScript

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', Createtbl, false);

First issue I found was that the document hasn't finished loading by the time the functions runs so document.getElementById("txtbox") is null.

No problem. I have posted a second solution.

You should look into jQuery. It makes things like dynamic forms (and document manipulation in general) a whole lot easier, and there is more help out there for it nowadays

I am creating dynamic table which I has 3 columns. First columns has campaign Name 2nd & 3rd column is status of that campaign which is image button. What I expect when I click status button it should return respective campaign name. Below is my code. Nothing is happening when I click on status button.

would be great if you can provide solution.
