Thanks Corey,
I've now got my code down to what follows. If I swap qty_field for input_text in the function bound to the image button's click event, obviously, any click increments all input values. Is there any way cutting this code down further? Thanks, Dan. $(document).ready(function() { addPlusMinus("[EMAIL PROTECTED]@type=text]"); addPlusMinus("[EMAIL PROTECTED]@type=text]"); $("table.summarytable tr:even").addClass("odd"); }); function addPlusMinus(input_text){ $(input_text).after("<img src='images/buttons/button_minus.gif' alt='-' class=\"decrement\" /><img src='images/buttons/button_plus.gif' alt='+' class=\"increment\" />"); $(input_text).siblings("img.decrement").bind("click", function() { qty_field = $(this).siblings("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); var numValue = $(qty_field).val(); if (numValue > 0 ) { numValue--; } $(qty_field).val(numValue); }); $(input_text).siblings("img.increment").bind("click", function() { qty_field = $(this).siblings("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); var numValue = $(qty_field).val(); numValue++; $(qty_field).val(numValue); }); } On 8/21/07, seedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > You shouldn't need to use the .each > > $('td [EMAIL PROTECTED]@type=text]').after('stuff') will append to all > elements that match the selector, no need to go into a loop with each. > > > Dan Eastwell wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm doing an order form for a bookstore.
