A text input doesn't have any innerHTML: it's an empty element. The  
text typed in is held in its value property, and need to be converted  
into a text node to append to the cell. So:

var value = document.getElementById("textBox").value;
var cell1 = row.insertCell(1);
cell1.appendChild(document.createTextNode(value));

should do what you want.

HTH,

Nick.
