Create dynamic text box WordPress

Greetings,

If you'd like to incorporate dynamic text boxes into your WordPress website, I would recommend the use of Contact Form 7 plugin (CF7), along with the Dynamic Text Extension (DTX).

It is an awesome plugin that gives you the capabilities to generate contents of a text input field by using shortcodes. It does come with built-in shortcodes that allow populating of the Contact Form from any $_GET PHP variable.

To use it, install and activate the plugin. Dynamic Text Field and Dynamic Hidden Field will then be added to the CF7 tag generator. The only drawback of using CF7 is that it has been abandoned and hasn't been updated.

Another way of adding Dynamic text field without utilizing CF7, is through the use of Javascript to learn more,

There's a little more to it than adding controls to a panel. On each button click there will be a postback and the textbox you just created will go away. No matter how many times you click the button, you will see only one textbox. To persist the textboxes you must do more work. You could add each textbox to a List<TextBox> and save it in session. Then in PreLoad event add them all back into the panel. It doesn't matter how you persist them, just know you will need to.
