Change your addInput function to the flwg:

    function addInput()
    {
       var newID = document.getElementById('text').childNodes.length + 1;

       var ip = document.createElement('input');
          ip.id            = 't' + newID;
          ip.type          = 'text';
          ip.size          = 36;
          ip.name          = 'option[]';
          ip.style.display = 'block';
          document.getElementById('text').appendChild(ip);
          ip.focus();
    }

Moral of the story: 'innerHTML == EVIL!'

Like the old 'document.write()' before it, it can't be trusted to leave your 
document alone.

So in future use standard DOM methods [like 'appendChild'] and generally 
you'll be fine [tho' it's a bit more verbose].
