The problem may be in your #addnew.click declaration. You are placing the html on separate lines. This can cause problems in some browsers (if not all). Javascript Strings cannot have literal line breaks. If you must separate the string across multiple lines, it is best practice to use concatenation. Your code:

 $('#addNew').live('click', function() {
     alert('ok');
     alert(i);
     $('<p>
     <label for="trainer">Trainer: </label>
    <td><select name="state_' + i +'"">
    <option></option>
    </select>
    <select>
    <option></option>
    </select></td></tr></table>
    <a href="#" id="remNew">Remove</a> </p>').appendTo(addDiv);

Should be written as:

$('#addNew').live('click', function() {
    alert('ok');
    alert(i);
    $('<p>' +
        '<label for="trainer">Trainer: </label>' +
        '<td><select name="state_' + i +'"">' +
        '<option></option>' +
        '</select>' +
        '<select>' +
        '<option></option>' +
        '</select></td></tr></table>' +
        '<a href="#" id="remNew">Remove</a> </p>').appendTo(addDiv);

See How do I break a string across more than one line of code in JavaScript? for more information on this.

Note that I don't know if this will fix your problem but it is a place to start. Also, Always check the developer's console in your browser. It will give you hints on where your javascript is broken,
