I'm trying to append a form element to a form

The last statement will re-validate form elements in the collection.
Thanks but it made no difference.
If I put an alert immediately before and another immediately after the
appendChild call he first alert displays but not the second!

Sorry, and who will add the form itself? :-)
And you have to do it *only* after onload when the DOM structure is
fully rendered, otherwise appendChild's will not find any parents.
