You can use this simple method to add new text boxes: -

/* container   - HTML element in which textBox needs to be added
    labelString - (optional) Label string for text box
    textValue   - (optional) Text value for text box
*/
function addNewTextBox(container, labelString, textValue) {
    if(!container) {
        return false;
    }
    // Create Label
    var label = document.createElement('label');
    label.value = (lableString ? labelString : 'Label');
    
    // Create Text box
    var textBox = document.createElement('input');
    textBox.type = 'text';
    label.value = (textValue ? textValue: '');

    container.appendChild(label);
    container.appendChild(textBox);

    return textBox;
}

thanks
i'll try these and post back...

You are doing all the manipulation at server side, where javascript can not help you.

Sorry :(
