It's possible to add inputs that are created dynamically by the user to a form?

Let's say I have this when the page loads:

<form id="my-form" xl-form>
... // here the inputs
</form>

And after that, I create an input (after the page loads)

<input type="input" class="integr_elements" placeholder="name" id="name">

How can I add it inside the form that has "my-form" as id? I need to add it inside because i want to use a GitHub plugin that will affect only the inputs that are inside the form.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

You can use Node.appendChild() for a pure javascript solution (no jQuery).

const el = document.createElement("input");
el.className = "integr_elements";
el.placeholder = "name";
el.id = "name";

const form = document.getElementById("my-form");
form.appendChild(el);

<form id="my-form" xl-form></form>

$('#my-form').append('<input type="input" class="integr_elements" placeholder="name" id="name">');

Something like this? Simply attaching or appending html content onto the form field and so on, you can change the values, names, types or even input types!

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#myForm").append("<input name='entry1' type='text'></input>");
  $("#myForm").append("<input name='entry2' type='password'></input>");
  $("#myForm").append("<input name='entry3' type='text'></input>");
})

input {
display:block;
margin:5px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form id="myForm">
  
</form>
