like the example u show, everytime add new, at first, it will keep on adding 1 to the previous id number right.. so it shows like..

#1
#2
#3
#4
#5

AND, once we remove any of the element, for example #3, it will become like this right..

#1
#2
#4
#5

and if we add new after this, it will continue the numbering from the last counter, which will show something like this..

#1
#2
#4
#5
#6
#7
#8 …and so on…

my question is, IS IT POSSIBLE to tweak the number displayed, to make it re-calculate the whole numbering sequence? to make it look back like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..etc so doesnt matter which line we remove, it will always display the correct number sequence.

since i just want the numbering for display purpose, i have the idea of making another counter, which is specifically for display. but i dont know how to do this in javascript. do we have to use ajax to auto update the numbering? any tips or hint is appreciated..

I'm going to write a tutorial on this to be posted on my blog in a few days. Check back for it. Thanks.

Could you give me an example on how I could, using this script, upload using PHP? If not, no problem... I will play around :) Hey,

attachment_a2.setAttribute(‘href’,”);

you should change this to

attachment_a2.setAttribute(‘href’,'javascript:removeAttachmentElement(‘+counter+’);’);

so that it works in IE…

otherwise this is one cool script and i’m loving it….
