    function addRow(tableID) {

                var table = document.getElementById(tableID);

                var rowCount = table.rows.length;
                var row = table.insertRow(rowCount);

                var colCount = table.rows[0].cells.length;

                for(var i=0; i<colCount; i++) {

                    var newcell = row.insertCell(i);

                    newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML;
                    //alert(newcell.childNodes);
                    switch(newcell.childNodes[0].type) {
                        case "text":
                                newcell.childNodes[0].value = "";
                                newcell.childNodes[0].id="j";
                                alert(newcell.childNodes[0].id);
                                break;
                        case "checkbox":
                                newcell.childNodes[0].checked = false;
                                break;
                        case "select-one":
                                newcell.childNodes[0].selectedIndex = 0;
                                break;
                    }
                }
            }

            function deleteRow(tableID) {
                try {
                var table = document.getElementById(tableID);
                var rowCount = table.rows.length;

                for(var i=0; i<rowCount; i++) {
                    var row = table.rows[i];
                    var chkbox = row.cells[0].childNodes[0];
                    if(null != chkbox &amp;&amp; true == chkbox.checked) {
                        if(rowCount <= 1) {
                            alert("Cannot delete all the rows.");
                            break;
                        }
                        table.deleteRow(i);
                        rowCount--;
                        i--;
                    }


                }
                }catch(e) {
                    alert(e);
                }
            }
    </script>

and my input box are

<INPUT type="text" name="STime[]" id="j"/>

<INPUT type="text" name="ETime[]" id="j"/>

the problem i am facing now is, the first text box will have a masked structure,but after i add a text box dynamically with help of j script, i will not get the text box as masked?why?? what i did wrong?

Answer 1

Use the livequery plug-in.
Then give all elements you want to mask the class maskme. Now you can do:

$(".maskme").livequery(function(){
    $(this).mask('99:99');
});

This will mask inputs added even after the code is first run.
