I haven't done it this way before but I believe you'll still have to add newText to the DOM.

Solution 1

The type of input should be text because you are creating a textbox here with this code.
Try this:

JavaScript

// Create a new text input
var newText = document.createElement('input');
newText.type = "text";
newText.name = "textbox1";
document.forms[0].appendChild(newText);

this code working well in IE, you may be block activeX control or script.. please check it while loading of page.. otherwise its working fine.

JavaScript

<script>
function myFunction()
{
var btn=document.createElement("input");
var t=document.createTextNode("CLICK ME");
btn.appendChild(t);
document.body.appendChild(btn);
};
</script>

HTML

<body>
<p id="demo">Click the button to make a BUTTON element with text.</p>
<button  önclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
</body>
