Small problem with a script I’m trying to make.

I wanted to create a small DHTML code that created a unordered list of input forms dependent on the number selected from the select dropdown menu. Problem is that it doesn’t seem to want to generate the list. I think the variables are within the scope of the function too, and I didn’t get an errors from the javascript console when using firebug. The script itself runs, I tested it when I used the old standby alert(); to see if the script was active. Here’s the code:

[CODE]function createTracklisting(){
var a = 0;
var b;
var li = document.createElement(‘li’);
var atag = document.createElement(‘a’);
var input = document.createElement(‘input’);
var list;
var box_entry;
a = document.getElementById(‘track_number’).value;
while(a.toPrecision >= 0){
list = document.getElementById(‘track_listing’).appendChild(li);
list.setAttribute(“Id”, “Track ” + a.toString);
box_entry = list.appendChild(input);
box_entry.setAttribute(“type”, “text”);
box_entry.setAttribute(“name”, “track ” + a.toString);
a–;
}[/CODE]
