Javascript Problem in IE: object doesn't support this property or method

Asked by khyer123 in JScript, Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX)

Tags: javascript, ie, ajax

I am working on a form that allows people to sign up people onto a team. The form includes a button that allows the user to add people to his roster. When the user clicks the button, a javascript function adds fields to the form. It works great in firefox, but gives me an "object doesn't support this property or method" error in IE, and won't work in Chrome.

Does anyone have any idea as to why it might work only for FF and not for IE/Chrome?
