innerHTML for elements and FireFox

I have a form and I'm adding form elements inside the form by
assembling the string and then using innerHTML to add them.

IE does not complain , but FireFox does not recognize the additions
(ie, if I check document['some_form'].length, the length remains the same).

What's the reason for that? Do I need to use DOM methods?

Can you post a minimal test case showing what you're doing that isn't
working? That's usually helpful -- either because by creating it you
solve the problem yourself before posting (amazing how often that
happens!), or because it gives folks on the list more info to work
with... :-) It may also be worth inspecting the form via Firebug or
some such after you've modified it; you're probably not quite
inserting what you think you're inserting, something like that.

Hope this helps,

Well, I found it.

I had the form inside the table, and reversing that so the table was
inside the form fixed it.

Thanks,
