Oooh! I had this problem a month or two ago. Check the archives. Short
answer: IE's DOM is different to Mozilla's DOM. Let me dig up the code I
eventually used... <clicky click>
Oh, wait. Possibly the same (or a similar) problem, but a different
implementation. I had issues with appending to tables -- IE uses TBODY and
Mozilla doesn't. I was also appending form elements, though, hence my
initial confusion.
I think you might be going about things a bit the wrong way. I didn't
append the new form element to the form itself, but rather to the location
in the document I wanted the field to appear. Since that part of the
document was under the form element anyway, all was good -- come submit
time, the form magically[1] read all of the elements under it and submitted
them all just as $DEITY intended it.
