• javascript
• jquery

• Have you tried anything out yet? I don't see any jQuery in your fiddle either. – Chris Rockwell Commented Oct 4, 2013 at 17:07
• Actually i don't know how to get form data. i just know doing $('.table > tbody:last').append('<tr>...</tr>'); would append the data. but i am not sure what to write inside – user2847429 Commented Oct 4, 2013 at 17:11
• Rajesh has a great answer - study it until you understand every line. (The purpose of the return false is to stop the button from submitting the form). Tiago Alves also has a good point: use IDs to address (select) each element specifically. – cssyphus Commented Oct 4, 2013 at 17:15

You should give unique identifiers to the elements you want to manipulate. After that you can do something like this using click(), val() and append() jQuery functions:

var sno = 0;
$("form button.btn").click(function() {
    var item_name = $("#item_name").val();
    var quantity = $("#quantity").val();
    var new_row = "<tr><td>" + ++sno + "</td><td>" + item_name + "</td><td>" + quantity + "</td></tr>";
    $("table tbody").append(new_row);
    return false;
});

Working demo

Better give a ID to form and table elements if they are not unique in the window and also to optimize DOM selections.

Wrote the code and added fiddle.

You need to get values of text and select and create a new row, then add to tbody.

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle/aH6hb/2/

try this

<div class="">

        <fieldset>
            <legend>Item Details</legend>
            <label>Enter Item Name</label>
            <input type="text" placeholder="Item Name" id="item_name">
            <label>Quantity</label>
            <select class="input-mini" id="quentity">
              <option>1</option>
              <option>2</option>
              <option>3</option>
              <option>4</option>
              <option>5</option>
            </select>
            <button class="btn" onclick="viewRecord()">Add Data</button>
        </fieldset>

</div>
<div class="">
    <table class="table controls controls-row">
        <thead>
            <tr id="heading">
                <th> S.no </th>
                <th> Item Name </th>
                <th> Quantity </th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

js part

var index=0;
function viewRecord(){
    index++;
$('table tbody').append('<tr><td>'+index+'</td><td>'+$("#item_name").val()+' </td><td> '+$("#quentity option:selected").val()+'</td></tr>');
}
