my java script is

  <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
   
    function add()
    {   
        k=document.getElementById("num").innerHTML
        k=parseInt(k);
         if(!k)
        {document.getElementById("num").innerHTML=1;
        k=1;} 
        else{
           document.getElementById("num").innerHTML=k+1;
           k++;
        }  
         document.getElementById("cat").innerHTML+="<br />type propositon "+(k)+":<input type=\"text\" name=\"prop"+k+"\">is it answer?  <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"ans"+k+"\">     ignore this one:<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"ign"+k+"\">"            
       
    }


</script> 

my html code is

<form  action="new.php" method="post">
   <fieldset>
<legend>Add Question & answer:</legend>
   
 
 question type:<br />
True or False:<input type="radio" name="radio" value="t">
Objective:<input type="radio" name="radio" value="o">
Other:<input type="radio" name="radio" value="o">
Quesion:<br />
<textarea name="desc" rows="6" cols="35" ></textarea> <br />
<a href="javascript:add()" ><b>add proposition</b></a> 
<div id="cat"></div>
<div id="num" style="display:none;"></div>
<br> 


 <input type="submit" name="submit">
 </fieldset>
</form>

Still mostly the wrong way, but it works...

function add()
{    
	k = document.getElementById("num").innerHTML 
	k = parseInt(k, 10); 
	if(!k) {
		document.getElementById("num").innerHTML = 1; k = 1;
	} else { 
		document.getElementById("num").innerHTML = k + 1; 
		k++; 
	}
	var $item = document.createElement('div');
	$item.innerHTML = 'type propositon ' + k + ': <input type="text" name="prop' + k + '"> is it answer?  <input type="checkbox" name="ans' + k + '">     ignore this one:<input type="checkbox" name="ign' + k + '">'
	document.getElementById('cat').appendChild($item);
}

thraddash you are really great ...

Thanks it works nicely.....


any how.... what you mean by "wrong way"?

Well, like the way I added the extra line of html with createElement, every other element and piece of text should be dynamically created in the same manner.
