I am trying to create forms on the fly in strict xhtml using
javascript. I won't bore you with why, but I should mention that I'm
only interested in the very latest versions of Mozilla based browsers.
The basic problem is that the forms do not display. I've included a
minimal sample below that illustrates this. It validates, I get no
javascript errors at run time, and most disconcerting of all is that
the DOM tree looks right after the page has loaded... but still
nothing.
Help!
