I am trying to add dynamic rows using jQuery in wordpress theme options page ..
My HTML on THEME-OPTIONS page
<a href="#" title="" class="add-author">Add Author</a>
<table class="authors-list" id="tablebody" border="1" bordercolor="#ddd"
style="background-color:#F5F5F5" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="3">
<tr><td>Designation</td><td>StartDate</td><td>EndDate</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><input style="width:200px" type="text" name="designation"/></td>
<td><input style="width:200px" type="text" id="start_date" name="start_date"/></td>
<td><input style="width:200px" type="text" id="end_date" name="end_date"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
My jQuery CODE for adding the rows
var counter = 1;
jQuery('a.add-author').click(function(event){
alert("asdas");
event.preventDefault();
counter++;
var newRow = jQuery('<tr><td><input style="width:200px" type="text" name="designation' +
counter + '"/></td><td><input style="width:200px" type="text" id="start_date'+ counter +'" name="start_date' +
counter + '"/></td><td><input style="width:200px" id="end_date'+ counter +'" type="text" name="end_date' +
counter + '"/></td></tr>');
jQuery('table.authors-list').append(newRow);
jQuery("#start_date"+ counter).datepicker();
jQuery("#end_date"+ counter).datepicker();
});
