Question

I have been successful in adding rows and cells to a table when the content of each cell is a text input. But when I try to add custom text (or a hyperlink) I do not get any result. Here is my code:

if (bb == "link") {

            var newRow = $("<tr></tr>").appendTo(thisTable);

            var newLinkCell = $("<td></td>").appendTo(newRow);

            var hInput = $("<span>" + l + "</span>").appendTo(newLinkCell);

        }

UPDATED FIDDLE:

This is the relevant code. A fiddle of the entire problem is here: http://jsfiddle.net/N8sW2/1/

My problem deals with the “Link to Page” button. Please help.

Answer 1

var thisTable = $(this).siblings("table");

This line will find no elements because your add button has no siblings which are tables.
