This can be reduced to this: $(document).ready(function() { function doPlusMinus(event) { qty_field = $(this).parent('td').find('[EMAIL PROTECTED]'); var num = $(qty_field).val(); $(qty_field).val( num + (event.data === true ? 1 : (num > 0 ? -1 : 0)) ); }
// Find our input fields, append a minus & plus image (create minus image, add plus image after minus image) $('[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]') .after( $('<img src="images/buttons/button_minus.gif" alt="-" class="decrement" />') .bind('click', false, doPlusMinus) .after( $('<img src="images/buttons/button_plus.gif" alt="+" class="increment" />').bind('click', true, doPlusMinus) ) ); $("table.summarytable tr:even").addClass("odd"); }); Cheers, -js 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.
