Moving dynamically created table rows up and down in an HTML table

T

T.G.

After loading the snippet in your browser, you will see a simple HTML table
with 2 hyperlinks per line that call js code to move the rows up and down.
There is a hyperlink at the bottom, 'ADD', that dynamically adds 3 rows to
the bottom of the table. These new rows also have Up and Down links that
move the rows up and down.

The problem: the links in the 5 static rows work perfectly. The links in the
new rows only work the first time they are clicked on, then cease to fire!

I cannot figure out why. I wonder if one of you could point me in the right
direction,

Thanks in advace,
Tim
