I have this form with a button that allows you to add fields to the form.

<form id="contact" name="contactForm" action="newPoll.php" method="post">
                        <fieldset>
                            <legend>Create A Poll</legend><br style="clear:both;">           

                                <ol>
                                    <li><lable for=pollTitle>Poll Title:</lable><input name="pollTitle" id="pollTitle" type="text" size="66"  /> </li>
                                    <li><lable for=question>1st Question:</lable><input name="question" id="question" type="text" size="66"  /> </li>
                                    <li><lable for=answerType>Constrained:</lable><input name="answerType" id="answerType" value="Constrained" type="radio" size="66"  /><span style="margin: 0 0 0 40px;">
                                    Unconstrained: <input style="margin-right: 30px;" name="answerType" value="Unconstrained" id="question" type="radio" size="66"  /></span>(Allow multiple answers) </li>
                                    <li><lable for=answer1>Answer:</lable><input name="answer1" id="answer1" type="text" size="66" /> </li>
                                    <li><lable for=answer2>Answer:</lable><input name="answer2" id="answer2" type="text" size="66" /> </li>
                                    <li><lable for=answer3>Answer:</lable><input name="answer3" id="answer3" type="text" size="66" /> </li>
                                    <li><lable for=answer4>Answer:</lable><input name="answer4" id="answer4" type="text" size="66" /> </li>

                            </ol><br />
                        </fieldset>
            <input type="button" value="Add More Answers" name="addAnswer" onClick="generateRow()" /><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Another Question">
</form>

And here is generateRow():

var count = 5;

function generateRow() {
    var d=document.getElementById("contact");
    var b = document.getElementById("answer4");
    var c =b.name.charAt(0);
    var f = b.name.substr(0, 6);
    var y = f + count;
    count = count + 1;
    d.innerHTML+='<li><lable for=' + y + '>Answer:</lable><input name="' + y + '" id="' + y    + '" type="text" size="66"/> </li>';
}

The issue is whenever a new row is added, it erases any input that may have been typed in any of the un-original (added) text fields. It should leave the data in form elements
