Add rows to an html table with javascript...how?

[dwest]

Javascript novice here.
All of this would reside in a PHP form page connected to a database.  Other data would be present on the page such as customer info but I've left that out of the conversation since it is handled via PHP.

Using javascript, I need to generate new rows for an html table:

Assume a combo box, a button, and an html table as below:

add standard item (combo box)
add custom item (button)

(Each of these fields would need to be generated in a textbox so they could be edited.)
sku        name              descr                qty      price        [u]delete[/u]
b321      product1          nice product        1        $1.00        checkbox
b322      product2          nicer product      1        $2.00        checkbox
b323      product3          nicest product      1        $3.00        checkbox

The add standard item combo box would need to be populated from the database "items" table. The sku and name would need to be visible.  Upon selecting an item, its data is added to the html table above.  Again, with each field being a textbox.

The add custom item button would simply add another row to the html table with empty textboxes awaiting entry of the custom data.

The delete link (the last column) deletes any rows for which the checkbox is checked.

[b]So, my question then is how do I accomplish this???[/b]

For clarity, once all items are added to the table, the form is posted to a form handler and the rows are inserted into a database table along with the customer id, and other data collected on the form.

Thanks!

Well, you can easily write out a new TR... and prepopulating whatever fields you want isn't a problem either.  What is you question, exactly, then?

I don't know javascript.  How do I write out the new tr etc.?

Never mind on this.  I think I can just do it all with PHP.

Thanks!

You could, but then you'd have to go round trip all the time.
