Using jquery.calculation.js with dynamically added form fields



I'm creating a form with dynamically added fields and would like to sum all added fields. So far I have the following code, but it only sums the first row:







<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

<title>Totals</title>

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/jquery-1.6.2.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/jquery/jquery.calculation.js"></script>



<script type="text/javascript">

//Sum

$(document).ready(

function (){

$('input[name^=reds]').sum("keyup", "#totalSumReds");

$("input[name^=blues]").sum("keyup", "#totalSumBlues");

}

);

</script>



<script type="text/javascript">

//Add/remove form fields

jQuery(function($){

$('#btnAdd').click( function(){

var num = $('.clonedInput').length;

var newNum = new Number(num + 1);

var newElem = $('#input' + num).clone().attr('id', 'input' + newNum);



newElem.children(':first').attr('id', 'name' + newNum).attr('reds', 'reds' + newNum);

$('#input' + num).after(newElem);

$('#btnDel').attr('disabled', false);

if (newNum == 5)

$('#btnAdd').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

});



$('#btnDel').click( function() {

var num = $('.clonedInput').length;

$('#input' + num).remove();

$('#btnAdd').attr('disabled', false);

if (num-1 == 1 )

$('#btnDel').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

});



$('#btnDel').attr('disabled', 'disabled');

});

</script>

</head>



<body>

<form id="myForm">

<div id="input1" style="margin-bottom:4px;" class="clonedInput">

Numbers: <input type="text" name="reds"/>

<input type="text" name="blues" id="blues"/>

</div>

<div>

Totals: <input type="text" name="totalSumReds" id="totalSumReds" value="" size="2" readonly="readonly" />

<input type="text" name="totalSumBlues" id="totalSumBlues" value="" size="2" readonly="readonly" />



</div>

<div>

<input type="button" id="btnAdd" value="add line" />

<input type="button" id="btnDel" value="remove line" />

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>







Any ideas about what should I try to fix it? Thanks!

  1. In your code you are registering the summing function only on the existing input fields, any fields added afterwards won't trigger the calculation and also won't be taken into account when summing.

    You could use event delegation instead:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    // Sum
    $(function (){
    $('#myForm').live("keyup", "input[name^=reds]", function() {
    var sum = $('input[name^=reds]').sum();
    $('#totalSumReds').val(sum);
    });
    $('#myForm').live("keyup", "input[name^=blues]", function() {
    var sum = $('input[name^=blues]').sum();
    $('#totalSumBlues').val(sum);
    });
    });
    </script>

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
