Question

I’m creating a survey question that has multiple answers.

There is a button to clone the existing textbox.
however, how do I get the value of those cloned textbox, especially from the codebehind.

Here is my code:

 function generateRow() {
        if (totalans == 9) {
            $('#<%= label2.ClientID %>').html('<b>Maximum of 10 answers per questions reached</b>');
        }
        else {
            $("#ans").clone().prependTo("#ans2");
            totalans = totalans + 1;
        }

//#ans is a division.

Could anyone help me please.
I tried to get it.

//c# code behind

String bla = tb_ans.ToString();
String[] splitAnswer = bla.Split(',');
int a = splitAnswer.Length;

//tb_ans is my textbox id.

I tried to use an array, but it seems it only took the first textbox value while dumping the others.

After viewing your comment i’ve revised my answer:

function generateRow() {
    if (totalans == 9) {
        $('#<%= label2.ClientID %>').html('<b>Maximum of 10 answers per questions reached</b>');
    }
    else {
        totalans = totalans + 1; // same as totalans++;
         $("#ans").clone().attr({id: "ans_clone_" + totalans, name: "ans_clone_" + totalans}).prependTo("#ans2");
         // then you can loop through each input using the totalans variable.
    }
