With javascript in webbrowsers, there is practically unlimited
possibilities for things to go wrong.

Where are things going wrong?

First, are you sure that the function "addColumn" is being called at
all?

Just put an "alert('hello')"  in there and see if that gets called when
you click the button.   If not, then you might have to put the script
declaration somewhere else, perhaps after the form declaration.

Also, if the script is called and the problem is elsewhere, it might be
that "workset" is inside a 'div' or some other element and the path is
wrong.   so, instead you might try:

	hi = document.forms['workset'].column1_name.value;
