One extra radio button is getting printed in div in JQUERY-CodePudding

I'm trying to copy one row of a table and append a radio button to it. There are 3 rows that i declared in the html and an add button in jquery which can add names to the table. All of these rows are appended with a delete button. when I click the start button I want the names to go to the next div without the delete button and append a radio button to it. and the user should be able to vote the names.when i add names, an extra radio button without name value is passed to the div. I can't figure out why. I'm trying to make a voting system using jquery without using any databases(temporary). Please help. I can't figure out why the extra radio button is getting passed. It's only passed when i add candidate using the add button.

here's my code:

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#start').click(function()
    { 
        $("#div1").hide();
        $("#buttonset1").hide();
        $("#div2").show();
        $("#voterName").val("")
        if( $('#candidateTable thead tr').children().length = 1)
        {
            if( $('#newTable thead').children().length == 0 )
            {
                $('#newTable thead').append('<tr></tr>');
            }
            $('#newTable thead tr').append('<th>'   $($('#candidateTable thead tr').children()).text()   '</th>');
            $('#candidateTable tbody tr').each(function(i)
            {
                if( $('#newTable tbody').children().length != $('#candidateTable tbody').children().length)
                {
                    $('#newTable tbody').append('<tr></tr>');
                }
                $('#newTable tbody tr:nth-child('   (i   1)   ')').append('<td>'   $($(this).children()[0]).text() '</td>' '<td><input type="radio" ></td>');
            });
        }

    });

    //delete candiates

    $("#candidateTable").on('click', '.del', function()
    {
        $(this).closest('tr').remove();
    });

    //add candidate

    $("#add").click(function()
    {
    //adding candidates
    
        var candidatename = $("#candidatename").val();
        if(candidatename.length!=0)
        {
            $("#candidateTable tbody").append('<tr><td>'  candidatename  '</td>' '<td>' '<button  id="Delete">Delete</button>' '</td><tr>');
            $("#candidatename").val('');
        }
    });
});

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $("#final").click(function(){
    $("#div2").hide();
    $("#div4").show();
    });
});

If i should get you correctly, you want the radio button to only select 1 entry out from the 3.

if that's the case, i have modified your code to work as thus..

the modified area is also indicated in the js/jquery section. you only missed assigning a name Attr. to your radio button..

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $('#start').click(function()
    { 
        $("#div1").hide();
        $("#buttonset1").hide();
        $("#div2").show();
        $("#voterName").val("")
        if( $('#candidateTable thead tr').children().length = 1)
        {
            if( $('#newTable thead').children().length == 0 )
            {
                $('#newTable thead').append('<tr></tr>');
            }
            $('#newTable thead tr').append('<th>'   $($('#candidateTable thead tr').children()).text()   '</th>');
            $('#candidateTable tbody tr').each(function(i)
            {
                if( $('#newTable tbody').children().length != $('#candidateTable tbody').children().length)
                {
                    $('#newTable tbody').append('<tr></tr>');
                }
                //Modified area to asign a name to the rdio button
                $('#newTable tbody tr:nth-child('   (i   1)   ')').append('<td>'   $($(this).children()[0]).text() '</td>' '<td><input type="radio"  name="boy"></td>');
            });
        }

    });

    //delete candiates

    $("#candidateTable").on('click', '.del', function()
    {
        $(this).closest('tr').remove();
    });

    //add candidate

    $("#add").click(function()

        var candidatename = $("#candidatename").val();

Change this line of code:

$("#candidateTable tbody").append('<tr><td>'  candidatename  '</td>' '<td>' '<button  id="Delete">Delete</button>' '</td><tr>');

with this:

$("#candidateTable tbody").append('<tr><td>'  candidatename  '</td><td><button  id="Delete">Delete</button></td></tr>');

in your add function. Now it will not add one extra row.
