Thanks Justin - that looks like just what I was looking for. Now I've got
to see if I can make it work with a complex form.

Subject: RE: Unlimited Line Item Subform functionality in a <FORM>
Here is a very quick DHTML example I just knocked up for u.
(ie4 + ) Needs to be changed slightly to be DOM compliant
You need to loop over the 'Form' collection on the "action" page to add each
field (lineitem1,lineitem2 lineitem3 etc....)

<html>
<head>
<script>
<!--//
currentItem = 1;
function AddLineItem ()
{
currentItem++;
e = "<input tye='text' size='20' name='lineitem" + currentItem + "'>";
lineitems.insertAdjacentHTML("BeforeEnd",e);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" name="">
<div id=lineitems>
<input type="text" name="lineitem1" size=20>
</div>
<input type="Button" onclick="AddLineItem()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
