I'm trying to add new tags into document using createElement()
function but
this not work. Tested in FF2 and IE6.

Simple example is here http://web.practisoft.cz/samples/jstest.html

Buttons enclosed in first div are created in html code and work as
expected.

Buttons in second div are created by createElement() and
appendChild()
functions and not work.

Buttons in third div are created by inserting innerHTML into div and
this
work.

Can anybody tell me what I do wrong?

If you want to provide an onclick handler you need to assign a function
object and not a string so change

var but=document.createElement('button');
but.onclick="alert('" + k + "')";

to

var but=document.createElement('button');
but.onclick= new Function("alert('" + k + "')");
