Create form fields using Javascript

[kate8]

Hi everyone,

I need to create some form fields by using Javascript.
It should work like this: when people click the buttom "Add a new record", a form field will be created with last name, first name, address and such.. People can fill in the form and submit. I need allow the people click as much as they want.

I use onClick
<input type="button" value="Click to Add a new record" onclick="createForm()">

but in createdForm(), should I use
document.createElement or
document.write or something else?

How can I let people keep adding the new form fields?

Thank you for any help!!

What are you planning on doing with the form data? What will be the "action" on the form?

I'd say you should use 'document.createElement', as using 'document.write' after the page has loaded will completely overwrite the current page contents.

You should also investigate '<node>.appendChild'

Hope this helps,
