Question

Here is my current HTML and CSS code:

  <form method="post" id="achievementf1" action="">
    <span>1.</span>
    <input type="text" name="achievement1" id="achievement1" />
    <br />
    <span>2.</span>
    <input type="text" name="achievement2" id="achievement2" />
    <br />
    <span>3.</span>
    <input type="text" name="achievement3" id="achievement3" />  
    <br />                      
    <input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Registrate" />
  </form>  ​

#border #info-box #info #box input[type="text"] {
  float: left;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  height: 25px; 
  width: 650px; 
  outline: none;
}
#border #info-box #info #box input[type="submit"] {
  margin-left: 500px;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  height: 35px; 
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 20px;
  border: 2px solid #fff;
  border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px;
  padding-left: 15px;
  padding-right: 15px;
  padding-top: 3px;
  cursor: pointer;  
}​

You can see it in action at http://jsfiddle.net/mzNtj/2/. I’d like to know how I can automatically append a new input field when all the others have been filled. I have a basic idea, to read in each field’s value and check it with an if statement. Then, if none are empty, add new one.

Is this an appropriate way to check, or does anyone have any better ideas?

Try the following code:

$(function(){
    $(document).on("change","input", function(){
        var allGood=true;
        var lastInputField=0;
        $("input").each(function() {
            if ($(this).val() =="") {
                allGood=false;
                return false;
            }
            lastInputField++;
        });

        if (allGood) {
            $("<span>" + lastInputField + "<input type='text' id='lastinputfieldId" + lastInputField +"'" +
              "name='lastinputfieldName" + lastInputField + "'></span>").appendTo("form");
        }
    });
});
