database code

public function addCell() {
        $cellName = $_POST['name'];
        $cityName = $_POST['city'];
        $this->model->addCell($cellName, $cityName);
        if (isset($_POST['acSelect'])) {
            $cells = $_POST['acSelect'];
            $cellID = $this->model->getCellID($cellName);
            $this->model->insertIntersectionCells($cellID, $cells);
        }
        include_once 'Successful.php';
        $s = new Successful();
        $s->index("you inserted your cell");
    }

$jquery code#

$("#addCell").ready(function(){
    $("#addCell").on('click',"#acaclink",function(){
        var me = this;
        $.getJSON("http://localhost/Mar7ba/Cell/getAllCells/TRUE",function(data){
            var options = '';
            options+="<option>select cell</option>";
            for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
                options += "<option>"+data[i]+"</option>";
            }
            $(me).closest('li').append('<p>\n\
            <label>Select Cell</label>\n\
            <select name="acSelect[]">\n\
             '+options+'\n\
</select>\n\
<a href="#" class="removeA">delete</a>\n\
</p>');
        });
    });
});
$("#addCell").ready(function(){
    $("#addCell").on('click',".removeA",function (){
        $(this).closest('p').hide();
    });
});

i hope i could explain my question cos my english is bad

Answer 1

you can use remove() method:

$("#addCell").ready(function(){
    $("#addCell").on('click',".removeA",function (){
        $(this).closest('p').remove();
    });
});
