Here is the code:

function add_more()
{

table_row1 = document.getElementById(“spec1”).cloneNode(true);
table_row2 = document.getElementById(“spec2”).cloneNode(true);
document.getElementById(“set_table”).appendChild( table_row1 );
document.getElementById(“set_table”).appendChild( table_row2 );
}

works perfectly in firefox, chrome, netscape and opera but doesnt work in IE 6. no errors but doesnt append child to the table.
