A <table> element has its rows in separate child elements for <thead>,
<tbody> and <tfoot>. When you're writing HTML you can miss out those
tags and the browser will put the implied <tbody>s in for you. However
as far as the HTML DOM is concerned the <tbody> is very much there and
rows have to go inside it.
So to add rows in a way that's more likely to work, add them to the
tbody element:
answersTable.tBodies[0].appendChild(newClone);
