This bug was fixed with the simplification of the javascript
INPUT element to be handled by one class.

After looking through the HtmlUnit source it appears that 
there is no simple way to support the javascript createElement
() call.  The principal problem, given my current 
understanding, is that Input elements can not be created 
without knowing the type ahead of time.  I am proposing that 
a new version of the javascript.Host.Input element be created 
that supports all the methods that are needed.  Are there 
other other major issues that I am missing?  I need to have 
support for this method to testing.  If there is support for 
making the changes necessary to support these 2 calls I 
would be happy to do the groundwork.  

I am a big fan of HTMLUnit but I need support for these 2 
mehods.  If support for this is not going to be made available I 
need to know so I can find another product that supports this 
now or will in the future.

I am immediately calling the form.appendChild(...) method 
after creating the input element.  After looking through 
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.Form.java I did 
not see that method implemented either.  If you have any 
pointers on what would have to be done to implement these 
methods I would be happy to help.
