}
I tried other variations and I keep getting the syntax error! I can’t seem to be able to figure out where I am going wrong.
can you post your entire code or a link to it please?

Here is what I am working on
Got it. I use JQuery so bear with me here. I don’t see where you’re calling the function on a button. Do you want this function to run when you click the “Activity” button?
-J
I am trying to create an event that will add a new row every time the button is clicked.
yes the activity button
Ok so I think you need to format the “onclick” function like a normal one. ie:
change onclick = function(){ to something like function addActivity(){
then call it in your #add_activity element by adding onclick="addActivity()" to it.
-J
Thank you, I will give that a shot.
When I removed all the code from the addActivity function and put a simple alert in, it fired off when I clicked the #add_activity button. So that at least gets the code working when the button is clicked. Getting the code working properly is a different story =).
-J
Yeah that is where I am stuck, I’m sure it will be resolved here.
You’re wanting a new row to appear under “Track List” with the same functionality as the line that’s there? Like… enter an activity and date?
-J
No, sorry the"Add Activity" button
I’m sorry - I’m not following. Are you trying to take the information that is entered in “Track List” and add it to a new element that lists all the activities which updates every time you hit the “Add Activity” button?
