I need help with my code. How do I add the index number whenever the user clicks the add button and how should I insert text input just like the first row? I am still learning how to use JS. Thank you in advance!

function childrenRow() {
  var table = document.getElementById("childTable");
  var row = table.insertRow(2);
  var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
  var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
  var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
  var cell4 = row.insertCell(3);
  var cell5 = row.insertCell(4);
}

Check this code.....

var i = 1;
function childrenRow() {
  i++;
  $('#childTable').find('tbody').append('<tr><th scope="row">'+i+'</th><td class="col-sm-4"><input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" /></td><td><input type="text" name="school" class="form-control" /></td><td class="col-sm-2"><input type="text" name="year" class="form-control" /></td><td class="col-sm-2"><input type="text" name="age" class="form-control" /></td><td><input type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-default" id="addrow" onclick="childrenRow()" value="+" /></td></tr>');
}

Replace your function with the below function

 function deleteRow(id)
{
document.getElementById(id).remove()
}

function childrenRow() {

  var table = document.getElementById("childTable");
  // GET TOTAL NUMBER OF ROWS 
  var x =table.rows.length;
  var id = "tbl"+x;
  var row = table.insertRow(x);
  row.id=id;
  var cell1 = row.insertCell(0);
  var cell2 = row.insertCell(1);
  var cell3 = row.insertCell(2);
  var cell4 = row.insertCell(3);
  var cell5 = row.insertCell(4);
  var cell6 = row.insertCell(5);
  cell1.outerHTML = `<th> ${x}</th>`;
  cell2.innerHTML = ' <input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" />';
  cell3.innerHTML = ' <input type="text" name="school" class="form-control" />';
  cell4.innerHTML = ' <input type="text" name="year" class="form-control" />';
  cell5.innerHTML = ' <input type="text" name="age" class="form-control" />';
  cell6.innerHTML = '  <input type="button" class="btn btn-block btn-default" id="addrow" onclick="deleteRow(\''+id+'\')" value="Delete" /> '; 
}
