Extending Forms

How can I have a form with several associated fields that can be duplicated via the click of a botton? In other words, have the same set of fields added to the form.
Can this be done with regular HTML and Javascripts? I looked around and found this site, which provides an elegant solution: http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/domfo...
The site uses the W3C DOM method, however, truthfully it is currently beyond my scope of knowledge and I am looking for a simpler solution (even if it is not as elegant, since its for my own use). Also it needs to be self contained, meaning no CGI scripts or anything like that because I don't control the web server.
I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that it could be accomplished with just JavaScript. I don't know much about JS so i'm afraid I won't be able to help you. I am sure though that JS would be all you need.
Place the code for the fields in a JavaScript function, including the "More fields button" and place the link to execute the function in the button also. I'm more of a php guy so sorry I can't be more helpful.
Developers have a sense of humour, it's just commented out.
