You can replicate the components and remove components by using JavaScript’s onclick event and Nodes.

var counter = 0;

document.getElementById('moreFields').onclick = moreFields;

function moreFields() {
    counter++;
    var newFields = document.getElementById('readroot').cloneNode(true);
    newFields.id = '';
    newFields.style.display = 'block';
    var newField = newFields.childNodes;
    for (var i=0;i<newField.length;i++) {
        var theName = newField[i].name
        if (theName)
            newField[i].name = theName + counter;
    }
    var insertHere = document.getElementById('writeroot');
    insertHere.parentNode.insertBefore(newFields,insertHere);
}

window.onload = moreFields;

<div id="readroot" style="display: none">

    <input type="button" value="x"
        onclick="this.parentNode.parentNode.removeChild(this.parentNode);" /><br /><br />

    <input name="amount" value="title" />

    <select name="items">
        <option>Items</option>
        <option value="cable">Cable</option>
        <option value="rj45">rRJ45</option>
    </select>
  
  <select name="type">
        <option>type</option>
        <option value="m">Cable</option>
        <option value="pcs">pcs</option>
    </select>

</div>

<form method="post" action="/cgi-bin/show_params.cgi">

    <span id="writeroot"></span>

    <input type="button" id="moreFields" value="Add more" />

</form>

When you click the “Add more” button, it will trigger the moreFields(). Inside that function, it keeps a count of the rows that currently created by using the counter variable. Then it creates a copy of the elements inside the element ID: readroot and append it to the element Section with ID: writeroot.

When you click the button with “x” value, it will trigger a removeChild() function and removes the row connected to the “x” button.
