I have a dropdown list on each cell of table row. Now what I need is dynamically add more dropdownlist on a particular cells with pressing the add button. Any code snippet to help on this? Thank you.
Below is the codes. I have tried function addSubRow2 but this is very static and I cant move further because beside each combo box I also need a text box and how give each of them an unique id so that later I can identify during validation and submission into php page?

var newcell = row.insertCell(i);
newcell.innerHTML = table.rows[1].cells[i].innerHTML;
newcell.innerHTML = newcell.innerHTML +"<br> TEST";
