I have to add rows to a table dynamically .i.e. by using JavaScript. I was able to add row using the follwoing code I found over the net. The problem is I have to create a dropdown in couple of cells in the new added row and add certain predefined values in it using cfquery.
But with this code I was not able add that as this adds a text box. Any changes in this code to add the drop down would be helpful.

function addRowToTable()
{
var tbl = document.getElementById('tblSample');
var lastRow = tbl.rows.length;
// if there's no header row in the table, then iteration = lastRow + 1
var iteration = lastRow;
var row = tbl.insertRow(lastRow);

// left cell
var cellLeft = row.insertCell(0);
var textNode = document.createTextNode(iteration);
cellLeft.appendChild(textNode);

// right cell
var cellRight = row.insertCell(1);
var el = document.createElement('input');
el.setAttribute('type', 'text');
el.setAttribute('name', 'txtRow' + iteration);
el.setAttribute('id', 'txtRow' + iteration);
el.setAttribute('size', '40');
el.onekeypress = keyPressTest;
cellRight.appendChild(el);
}

I am unable to post the HTML as it is not allowed to post certain functions in JS ( I got this in the error)



Thanks!

One isn't allowed to post event-handlers (onclick, onchange etc).
Just replace the "o" by "#&111;" (#&111;nclick, #&111;nchange etc).

If the values are from the server you would have to use Ajaxor submit the page to the server. If you are filling the values from JavaScript, you can use JavaScript's new Option(). Search Google.
