can you please tell me what is the use of this line.
cb.value = "test"; ? what is this ? and what is use if this

In this case i understand this is the text of button
<input type="button" value="append".

one question more.
what is the use of this name="append" in this line..
<div id="append" name="append">

values means the text for check box.
Every html tag contains the id and name attributes. from script u can call those html tags by using id or name.
let see the example
<div id="append" name="append">
now i can access the div in different ways as follows
document.getElementById("append");
it will return single html tags only i.e div tag only
or
document.getElementsByName("append");
it will rerun the tags which have the name "append".

"ID" is unique and but not "Name" .
