line 31 :
for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
only runs once, if you wanted to have this add more than one you will need to fix
also probably the problem you are hung up on
line 34 : name="fmlis" later in your code you have name="fmlist'.($qq+1).' so, on line 34 you probably want to concat k+1 to the name...
