AppendChild not working in Ajax request

Question

I have a script to add an input field element when a current one is pressed. When i use innerHTML it replaces the current, which is not what i want. So I figured appendChild

Answer 1

parent.appendChild() is a function waiting for DomNode Object and you are passing a String, it can't work...

Try :

var d = document.createElement('div');
d.innerHtml = xmlhttp.responseText;
document.getElementById("org_div1").appendChild(d);

Answer 2

AppendChild expects an object, where innerHTML works with a String. And since your server returns partial HTML, this will only work with innerHTML.
