How to add or remove rows inside a table dynamically using jQuery
Topic: JavaScript / jQueryPrev|Next
Answer: Use the jQuery .append() or .remove() Method
You can use the jQuery .append() method to append or add rows inside a HTML table. Similarly, you can use the .remove() method to remove or delete table rows as well as all everything inside it from the DOM dynamically with jQuery. Let's look at an example to see how this works:
Example
Try this code »<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Add / Remove Table Rows</title>
<style>
table{
width: 100%;
margin: 20px 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
table, th, td{
border: 1px solid #cdcdcd;
}
table th, table td{
padding: 5px;
text-align: left;
}
</style>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".add-row").click(function(){
var name = $("#name").val();
var email = $("#email").val();
var markup = "<tr><td><input type='checkbox' name='record'></td><td>" + name + "</td><td>" + email + "</td></tr>";
$("table tbody").append(markup);
});
// Find and remove selected table rows
$(".delete-row").click(function(){
$("table tbody").find('input[name="record"]').each(function(){
if($(this).is(":checked")){
$(this).parents("tr").remove();
}
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Name">

<input type="button" class="add-row" value="Add Row">
</form>
