Perhaps you'd like to supply more info like:
1) Form code markup
2) Form handling code (php)
3) MySQL DB table structure
4) Any other relevant code/info
You assume that we have crystal balls.

You need to set the row fields name as an array.
You should know the javascript or jquery for appent each rows without page load.

</tr>
</table><br>
<table><tr>
<input type="text" name="itemNo" size="4" />
<input type="text" name="unit" size="10" />
<input type="text" name="description" size="27" />
<input type="text" name="qty" size="10" id="number" onchange="if (/^\.?$/.test(this.value) || !/^-?\d*\.?\d*$/.test(this.value)) {alert('aduy!'); this.value=''; this.focus()}"/>
<input type="text" name="rate" size="13" id="number" onchange="if (/^\.?$/.test(this.value) || !/^-?\d*\.?\d*$/.test(this.value)) {alert('aduy!'); this.value=''; this.focus()}"//>
<input type="text" name="amt" size="14" id="number" onchange="if (/^\.?$/.test(this.value) || !/^-?\d*\.?\d*$/.test(this.value)) {alert('aduy!'); this.value=''; this.focus()}"//>
</tr>
</table>
<table><tr>
</html>
<INPUT type='submit' value='S A V E'/>
</form></tr></table>
</html>
save.php
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","user");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("sales_db", $con);
$sql="INSERT INTO Items (itemNo, Unit, Description, Quantity, Price, Total, ORNumber)
VALUES
('$_POST[itemNo]','$_POST[unit]','$_POST[description]','$_POST[qty]','$_POST[rate]','$_POST[amt]','$_POST[orNum]')";
if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))

mysql_close($con);

A. Your html is shot to hell. Multiple </html> tags with inexplicable <table> closures.
B. Your SQL is using raw POST vars - unsanitized and highly dangerous - don't do it! Neither is there any validation - you could be shoving any old rubbish into the DB.
C. What are you trying to achieve with this particular JS:
if (/^\.?$/.test(this.value) || !/^-?\d*\.?\d*$/.test(this.value)) {alert('aduy!'); this.value=''; this.focus()}
//As you're repeating this all over the place, it should go into a js function.
D. Inline styles and html styling attributes should be a thing of the past. You seem to have 'included the kitchen sink'. Maybe de-cluttering your html will enable you to focus on producing valid HTML in the first instance.
