innerHTML is not a DOM-compliant property, so you can't expect it to work on all browsers all the time. Suggest this instead:

Code: 
var _parent = document.getElementById('param');
var _newInput = document.createElement('input');
_newInput.type = 'hidden';
_newInput.name = 'X111';
_newInput.value = '222';
_parent.appendChild(_newInput);

Also, notice I have changed the name so it begins with a letter. Names must not begin with numbers.

Hope this helps,
Dan

- Do you actually have an element with an id of "param" on the page?

- Are you waiting for the page to fully load and parse before running the script?

If so, can you post your code, or a URL to it?

I am sorry I missed you yesterday

Here is the code you could test it if you have a Mac os.
And your second question I don’t understand.
Thank for helping me

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

function nameon()
{
var _parent = document.getElementById('param');
var _newInput = document.createElement('input');
_newInput.type = 'hidden';
_newInput.name = 'myName';
_newInput.value = 'myValue';
_parent.appendChild(_newInput);

alert( document.getElementById('param').innerHTML );

for (var i = 0; i < document.testForm.elements.length; i++)
{
alert( document.testForm.elements.name + ' = ' + document.testForm.elements.value);
}
}

</script>

</head>
<body>

<FORM name="testForm" id="testForm">

<span id="h2text" onmouseover="nameon()">Mouse over this text!</span>

<a id="param"> </a>
</FORM>

</body>
</html>

Unless it's absolutely necessary to use IE on Mac, you might consider an alternative browser. IE isn't supported anymore and, when it was, it was still a pretty crappy browser compared to its Windows counterpart. Just my 2 cents, however.
