Add html element jQuery

I'm trying to copy a textarea in my html code by clicking a button that adds it to the same container of the first textarea.

My code is:

$("#note_开发者_如何学Goadder").click(function(){$("#p_note").clone().append('note_id')});

• Button's id is note_adder
• Textarea's id is p_note
• Container's id is note_id

I also want to change the name attribute of the newly created textarea.

Two things: you need to use appendTo, and you need a # in front of note_id.

$('#note_adder').click(function () {
    var counter = $('[id^="p_note"]').length;
    $('#p_note').clone().attr({
        id: 'p_note_' + counter,
        name: 'p_note_' + counter
    }).appendTo('#note_id');
});

I also changed the id of the cloned textarea since IDs should be unique. With each successive click, it should produce new textareas with names and ids of:

• p_note_1
• p_note_2
• etc...

Here's a demo borrowed from Shadow Wizard's answer: http://jsfiddle.net/cq9Hq/2/.

Need to be appendTo:

$("#note_adder").click(function(){$("#p_note").clone().appendTo('#note_id')});
