<script>
function addValue(a) {
var element1 = document.createElement('tr');
var element2 = document.createElement('td');
var text = document.createTextNode(a);
var table = document.getElementById('t');
element2.appendChild(text);
element1.appendChild(element2);
table.tBodies(0).appendChild(element1);
}
</script>
