Question

I have a hidden placeholder in my html:

<div id="backup_add" class="hidden"></div>

Now in the javascript I have a <tr> like this:

var row = $(add_button_row).closest('form').closest('tr');

The moment I try to append the tr to the placeholder as backup, the script breaks. I have no idea why.

$('#backup_add').append(row);

What am I missing?

Thanks

You have to append a copy of the row, no the row itself (as it cannot exists in 2 different locations at the same time). And actually tr in a div is not a valid markup.

$('#backup_add').append($(row).clone());
