Quite a few issues there...
First off, you can generally use one or the other of "visibility" or
"display" properties. In your case you'd probably want to use "display"
since this will actually create or destroy the space that the br occupies.
Then, in makeNewEntry you'd want this one line:
document.getElementById('FTDTYPEe').style.display = 'block';
// since it is an id, you can reference it directly, independent of the form
Finally, you can remove the visibility property from the br:
<br id="FTDTYPEe" style="display: none;" />
That should get you where you need to be.
