Dynamically add dropdown and text fields

EDIT:

added: - event.preventDefault(); and anchors instead of buttons

<div class="edit-area">
 <div class="controls">
    <a href="#" class="add">+</a>
    <a href="#" class="rem">-</a>
 </div>
</div>

Now the page +or -won't make the page send the form, but now it does nothing :s

---

I'm working on a contact form, but I have a few problems/questions.

• I want to dynamically add fields when they press a button (+)
• And off course they need to be able to delete this when needed... (-)

When I press the + button now, it tries to act like a submit button and sends the form...

Script

<script>
        (function($) {
            "use strict";

            var itemTemplate = $('.example-template').detach(),
                editArea = $('.edit-area'),
                itemNumber = 1;

            $(document).on('click', '.edit-area .add', function(event) {
                var item = itemTemplate.clone();
                item.find('[project]').attr('project', function() {
                return $(this).attr('project') + '_' + itemNumber;
            });
            ++itemNumber;
            item.appendTo(editArea);
        });

        $(document).on('click', '.edit-area .rem', function(event) {
            editArea.children('.example-template').last().remove();
        });

        $(document).on('click', '.edit-area .del', function(event) {
            var target = $(event.target),
            row = target.closest('.example-template');
            row.remove();
        });

    }(jQuery));
</script>
