JavaScript – Jquery v1.7 and earlier
var regex = /^(.+?)(\d+)$/i;
var cloneIndex = $(".clonedInput").length;
$("button.clone").live("click", function(){
$(this).parents(".clonedInput").clone()
.appendTo("body")
.attr("id", "clonedInput" + cloneIndex)
.find("*").each(function() {
var id = this.id || "";
var match = id.match(regex) || [];
if (match.length == 3) {
this.id = match[1] + (cloneIndex);
}
});
cloneIndex++;
});
There is only one silly part 🙂 .attr("id", "clonedInput" + $(".clonedInput").length)
but it works 😉
JAvascript – JQuery recent (supporting .on())
var regex = /^(.+?)(\d+)$/i;
var cloneIndex = $(".clonedInput").length;
function clone(){
$(this).parents(".clonedInput").clone()
.appendTo("body")
.attr("id", "clonedInput" + cloneIndex)
.find("*")
.each(function() {
var id = this.id || "";
var match = id.match(regex) || [];
if (match.length == 3) {
this.id = match[1] + (cloneIndex);
}
})
.on('click', 'button.clone', clone)
.on('click', 'button.remove', remove);
cloneIndex++;
}
function remove(){
$(this).parents(".clonedInput").remove();
}
$("button.clone").on("click", clone);
$("button.remove").on("click", remove);
