Hi all.

how can I add a checkbox (or other form elements)
to a form that is already closed ( </FORM> )

is there something like formName.add()... ?

To my knowledge, there is now form.add() method. The best way I know of to add form elements dynamically is to put the form elements on the form and set their style's visible property to "hidden". Then create a JavaScript function to change the element's visible property to "visible" when you want to show the form elements.

Hi,

You can use the W3C DOM to dynamically add and remove things from the document including form elements.

Something like



var chk = document.createElement("INPUT");
chk.setAttribute("type","checkbox");
chk.setAttribute("name","myCheck");
document.yourform.appendChild(chk);



should work.

Hey Adam2002,

Great code! I never knew you could do that. Learn something new every day.
