                var row = document.createElement("TR");

                var td4 = document.createElement("TD");
                var td5 = document.createElement("TD");

                var t1 = document.createElement('div');
                var t2 = document.createElement('div');
                var t3 = document.createElement('div');

Answer 1

I guess this

var table = document.getElementsByTagName("myTable")[0];

should better be

var table = document.getElementById("myTable");

the function can be made simpler if you want to:

function deleteLine(object) {
            while (object.tagName != 'TR') {
                object = object.parentNode;
            }
            object.parentNode.removeChild(object);
        }

Answer 2

You can also try this. ...

<script type="text/javascript">
           var inputCount = 0;

            function addRow(id) {
                //set row number
                inputCount++;
                var tbody = document.getElementById(id);
                html=""
                  var row = document.createElement("TR");
                  row.setAttribute("id", "row"+inputCount)
                  tbody.appendChild(row);
                html +="<td>Name of school:</td>"
                html +="<td><input type='text' Width='180px' name='items_" + inputCount + "'></td>"
                html +="<td><input type='text' Width='180px' name='items_" + inputCount + "'></td>"
                html +="<td>Title aquired: </td>"
                html +="<td><input type='Button' class='Button' onclick=deleteLine('row"+inputCount+"') value='Remove'></td>"
                alert(html)
                row.innerHTML = html




            }

            function deleteLine(index) {
                table = document.getElementById("myTable")
             row = document.getElementById(index)

                table.removeChild(row);
            }
        </script>
