need guidance to transfer info from one table to another

Hello,
I have a form with 4 tables. Table 1 & 2 are not associated with my problem so I'll start with Table3.

Table3 contains an input-textbox; and a push-button to add a new row to Table4. The button also activates a script to transfer the information in the text-box to the new cell in Table4. I originally used cloneNode which works fine:

// cell 1 - input text
document.getElementById("Table3");
var el=document.getElementById("textBox").cloneNode(tr ue);
var cell1 = row.insertCell(1).appendChild(el);

but I only want to transfer the text (not the text-box.) I tried to adapt innerHTML, but am having trouble doing so. What am I doing wrong?:

// cell 1 - input text
document.getElementById("Table3");
var el = document.getElementById("textBox").innerHTML;
var cell1 = row.insertCell(1).textBox(el);

any assistance would be appreciated...

The form address is as follows with "tbNOR" being the name of the textBox:
