I'm trying to create a website with a form that collects some user information to store in MySQL database. However, I've a problem when I want to dynamically add new rows and columns in the HTML table so that the user can add more information in the dynamically added textboxes.

Here's what I have:

				 <table border="0" width="90%" align="center" id="itemsTable">
				  <tr>
				   <td width="20%">
					Quantity
				   </td>
				   <td width="80%">
					<input type="text" name="txtQuantity" value="" size="20" />
					unit(s)
				   </td>
				  </tr>
				  <tr>
				   <td width="20%">
					Dimensions
				   </td>
				   <td width="80%">
					<input type="text" name="txtDimensions" value="" size="50" />
				   </td>
				  </tr>
				  <tr>
				   <td width="20%">
					Amount
				   </td>
				   <td width="80%">
					S$
					<input type="text" name="txtAmount" value="" size="20" />
				   </td>
				  </tr>
				  <tr>
				   <td width="20%">
					Remarks
				   </td>
				   <td width="80%">
					<input type="text" name="txtRemarks" value="" size="50" />
					<span style="font-style: italic; font-size: smaller;">
					 (optional)
					</span>
				   </td>
				  </tr>
				  <tr>
				   <td width="100%" colspan="2">
					<!-- Center Space -->
					<br />
				   </td>
				  </tr>
				 </table>

I want all rows and columns in this table to be repeated everytime the user pressed a "Add more infomation" button. So basically the entire table gets repeated again, printed out on the screen.
Likewise, I'd also want the last set of rows and columns being dynamically added to be removed when the user press a "Remove last information inputs" button.

So according to the codes above, I'd expect another set of "Quantity", "txtQuantity" textbox, "Dimensions", "txtDimensions" textbox, "Amount", "Amount" textbox, "Remarks", "Remarks" textbox, to be repeated again. And this set could be removed when the user press a "Remove last information inputs" button.

How can I do that?
Thanks alot.

You can try on of two approaches:
1- Use DHTML(http://www.W3schools...e_insertrow.Asp)
2- Use AJAX, which is more work but better performance.

you can add row dynamically using javascript dom

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function insRow()
{
var x=document.getElementById('myTable').insertRow(0);
var y=x.insertCell(0);
var z=x.insertCell(1);
y.innerHTML="NEW CELL1";
z.innerHTML="NEW CELL2";
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Row1 cell1</td>
<td>Row1 cell2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row2 cell1</td>
<td>Row2 cell2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row3 cell1</td>
<td>Row3 cell2</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<input type="button" onclick="insRow()" value="Insert row">
