Thanks for the other replies; it was a stupid, stupid problem that was
fixed after much trial and error. Apparently, Javascript does not like
forms to be contained within <div> tags outside of where it has control.

To answer your question, it works perfectly. Since I am storing the values
in an array, dynamically created portions of the form simply append to the
same array. When you can have up to 200-300 lines of entry, it's a lot
easier to keep track of them all with one variable name as opposed to
several hundred.
