Hi Elle,

Here are a few thoughts.

Your code:

$("#add").click(function() {
$(".product-template").clone().appendTo(".product-template:last- child");
});


- Do you have this inside a document.ready?

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#add").click(function() {
$(".product-template").clone().appendTo(".product-template:last- child");
   });
});

- To clone the events along with the DOM elements you can do .clone(true) instead of .clone()

- The problem with the click not working could have to do with the ":last-child" part. I'd change it to ":last" and also change the insertion method from .appendTo() to .insertAfter()

- Probably a good idea to only clone the first .product-template each time.

Try something like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $("#add").click(function() {
$("div.product-template:first").clone(true).insertAfter("div.product- template:last");
   });
});

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Hi,

I'm new to jquery and went over quite a few tutorials -- some work
great for me, with no problems at all. But I'm having trouble with
the .clone() method.
I am trying to build an order form, and have a button#add, which when
clicked I want it to add another div.product-template (that includes a
select list, options, quantity and add to cart button).
So, my code says:

http://pastie.caboo.se/189769

but... when I click on the button#add, once nothing happens, second
time it adds the .product-template but any functions I had attached to
the select list don't work. third click gets rid of my second .product-
template.

In my document I have:
.... snip ...
div#orderform
        form
             button#add
             fieldset#step1
                      div.product-template
                            .... rest of options come here
             fieldset#step2
.... snip ...


Would anyone know how to correct this?

TIA,
Elle
