Not sure if this is a bug but...

If a form is modified using Javascript to swap or add elements the resulting
form data is transmitted in element creation order, not in the DOM order.

The bug can be fixed in script by using form.cloneNode(true) and then replacing
the form in question with the new cloned version.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a form using the DOM in javascript
2. Swap two elements using javascript
3. Submit the form

Actual Results:  
form data was received in an unexpected order.

Expected Results:  
Form data should (i think) arrive in the same order as the DOM elements.
