dynamicField: My First "Official" jQuery Plugin
Posted on January 12, 2010 at 1:48 PM in ColdFusion, jQuery
Anyone that knows me knows that I hate doing UI work. Why? Because I suck at it. Graphics, design, and layout are definitely not among my talents. Which is why I love jQuery so much. I can write a little bit of JavaScript - very little, in fact - add a plugin or two, and voila! I have a nice looking user interface for my application.
After using a few very handy form-related jQuery plugins and integrating them into my cfUniForm library, I decided it was time I go ahead and release a plugin of my own.

The Obligatory Wish List

Can this plugin support that capability to create groups of form field elements? That would be great if it could.

Part of my "issue" is that I need to figure out how to effectively handle it within the confines of the Uni-Form markup, which is what all of my forms are based upon. As of the moment, I've not really gotten my head around that. Or, perhaps more specifically, I've not yet gotten my head around how to handle it for a wide range of markup styles. Such a thing would not be nearly as useful if it forced one (anyone) into a single markup style. Anyways, I just don't have the time available to me to focus on it. :-(

Thanks for this wonderful plugin. I been using it for a couples of weeks, nevertheless I came across a issue I cannot still figure out. Let's say we have a dynamic field set used to form a sql query. The first dynamic field is a dropdown with "("; the thing is when the "Add Row" button is pressed the new first field must be another dropdown with the values "AND, OR" in order to form a sql where statement with the corresponding AND or OR operator.
There is a simple way to achieve this task with the dynamicField plugin?

I grabbed your plugin and I am trying to use it. I get an error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined" when it tries to execute this;
baseName: f.children("input")
.attr("name")
.replace(/^(.+[_-])([0-9]+)$/,"$1"),
Do the class, id, name attr matter explicitly? This looks like a nice plugin.

But check to make sure you have the attribute(s) in question.
