@noblemfd if you are using jquery, why are you using an inline onclick action on your button?
much better to do something like
$('button').click(function(){
// do something.
});
not sure if that's your issue though.

In my Laravel-5.8, I am applying JQuery:
<div id="myNotice" class="container-fluid">
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;" class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12" >
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()" class="btn btn-block btn-info">
<i class="fas fa-arrow-right"></i>
<span >Proceed</span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="myMSF" class="container-fluid" style="display:none">
<table id="msfTable" class=" table table-bordered table-striped table-hover datatable">
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col" width="4%">ID</th>
<th scope="col" width="25%">Core Value<span style="color:red;">*</span></th>
<th scope="col" width="25%">Rating<span style="color:red;">*</span></th>
<th scope="col" width="46%">Comment</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody class="resultbody">
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
JQuery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//Try to get tbody first with jquery children. works faster!
var tbody = $('#msfTable').children('tbody');
//Then if no tbody just select your table
var table = tbody.length ? tbody : $('#msfTable');
$('[name=count_skills_no]').text();
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myMSF");
var y = document.getElementById("myNotice");
if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
y.style.display = "none";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
y.style.display = "block";
}
var nx = ($('.resultbody tr').length - 0) + 1;
var num_rows = $("#msfTable tbody tr").length + 1;
var rows = $('[name=count_skills_no]').val() - 1;
var sn;
for (var i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
sn = num_rows + i;
//Add row
table.append('<tr>\n' +
'<td class="no">' + sn + '</td>\n' +
' <td><select class="form-control select2bs4" data-placeholder="Choose Employee Type" tabindex="1" name="appraisal_skill_id[]" required>\n' +
' <option value="0" selected="true" disabled="true">Select Core Value</option>\n' +
' @if($skills->count() > 0 )\n' +
' @foreach($skills as $skill)\n' +
' <option value="{{$skill->id}}">{{$skill->skill_name}}</option>\n' +
' @endforeach\n' +
' @endif\n' +
' </select></td>\n' +
' <td><select class="form-control select2bs4" data-placeholder="Choose Rating" tabindex="1" name="appraisal_respondent_rating_id[]" required>\n' +
' <option value="0" selected="true" disabled="true">Select Rating</option>\n' +
' @if($ratings->count() > 0 )\n' +
' @foreach($ratings as $rating)\n' +
' <option value="{{$rating->id}}">{{$rating->rating_value}} - {{$rating->rating_name}}</option>\n' +
' @endforeach\n' +
' @endif\n' +
' </select></td>\n' +
' <td><input type="text" name="comment[]" placeholder="Enter comment here" class="form-control comment" required></td>\n' +
'</tr>');
}
}
});
</script>
By default
<div id="myMSF" class="container-fluid" style="display:none">
is hidden while
<div id="myNotice" class="container-fluid">
is visible.
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()" class="btn btn-block btn-info">
<i class="fas fa-arrow-right"></i>
<span >Proceed</span>
</button>
is to display myMSF and hide. Also it creates tbody of the table
When the button proceed is onclick, I got this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: myFunction is not defined at HTMLButtonElement.onclick
and this code is highlighted
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()" class="btn btn-block btn-info">
How do I resolve it?
Thanks
your table is not defined at myFunction
is because you've not defined your table in your method.
move
var tbody = $('#msfTable').children('tbody');
//Then if no tbody just select your table
var table = tbody.length ? tbody : $('#msfTable');
into your method and it should work.
