Cloning / creating new row to my 3 column table(noob btw!)

Hi guys this is my first post an ive only started to use HTML, PHP and mySQL so here goes.

The problem I am having is that i want a single line table to duplicate more lines of code when an onClick button is pressed. it basically goes

Staff name Wage hours worked
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I IButtonI

When the button is pressed i want the form table to change to
Staff name Wage hours worked
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I IButtonI

and so on. I am storing staff name etc as an array so i can easily calculate totals. Is there a way to do this dynamically without having to show / hide or else using DOM?

Any help appreciated!

This will require the use of JavaScript or DHTML. Moving to JavaScript/DHTML/Ajax Forum.

I am realy happy that you got the required thing. There is some difference between mine and the other expert who posted another link. Mine is Dom, the expert what he had given is using innerHTML. Understanding innerHTML is very easy. In future any doubts post it in the forum. I will be there trying to help u out.
