[Javascript] Add elements to form

[TomMallard]

This is a perfect place for using the xmldom to store everything...

Anyway, you don't need to use the form data if you use div's within td's or
the td tags. These would be scriptable using the style attribute of the
document.divID object and can use the same naming convention.
