I dont know how to search for this, so apologies if this has been asked before. Basically i am using jQuery/AJAX/PHP to dynamically save to a database, pull info back etc. I have made my form save and pull back the room's id, and then the item's id's when they are saved, however i need a way to dynamically save the room id to it's children items so it all links up in the database. I will try and explain everything i can.
<div id="formHolder" rel="1">
<form class="rooms">
<label>Room</label>
<input type="text" name="roomName[]">
<input type="hidden" class="roomId" name="roomId[]">
<input type="hidden" class="inventoryId" name="inventoryId[]" value="<?=$_GET['inventory_id']?>">
<div class="saveRoom">Save Room</div>
</form>
<div class="addItem">
<form class="items">
<label>Item</label>
<input type="text" name="itemName[]">
<label>Description</label>
<textarea name="itemDescription[]"></textarea>
<label>Condition</label>
<select name="itemCondition[]">
<option value="Good">Good</option>
<option value="Adequate">Adequate</option>
<option value="Poor">Poor</option>
</select>
<input type="hidden" class="itemId" name="itemId[]" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="itemInventoryId[]" value="<?=$_GET['inventory_id']?>">
<input type="hidden" name="itemParent[]" value="">
<div class="saveIcon" style="display: none; color: green;">SAVED!</div>
<div class="save">Save Item</div>
</form>
</div>
<div id="addItem">Add another item</div>
</div>
This is the basic form i am using. My plan here was to save the room's ID to the rel attribute and then each item that is added would grab that id from there, but i simply cannot work out how to do it.
$('#addItem').on('click', function(){
$('<form class="items">\
<label>Item</label>\
<input type="text" name="itemName[]">\
<label>Description</label>\
<textarea name="itemDescription[]"></textarea>\
<label>Condition</label>\
<select name="itemCondition[]">\
<option value="Good">Good</option>\
<option value="Adequate">Adequate</option>\
<option value="Poor">Poor</option>\
</select>\
<input type="hidden" class="itemId" name="itemId[]" value="">\
<input type="hidden" name="itemInventoryId[]" value="<?=$_GET["inventory_id"]?>">\
<input type="hidden" name="itemParent[]" value="'$(this).parent().parent().attr('rel');'">\
<div class="saveIcon" style="display: none; color: green;">SAVED!</div>\
<div class="save">Save Item</div>\
</form>').fadeIn(500).appendTo('.addItem');
});
You can see i've tried using $(this).parent().parent().attr('rel');
but that doesn't work so i am stumped. I know i've waffled a bit here and if anyone wants to open a chat with me please do, thank you for your time
