Is it possible to create a marker in SVG using Javascript and then apply it to a newly created line? If so, please can you tell me what is wrong with the code below. I would expect the red and green lines to both have an arrow head but in both Chrome and Firefox 3.6 only the green line does.

It worked fine if I changed some parts of your code like this:
var newmarker = oldmarker.cloneNode(true);
newmarker.setAttribute("id", "Triangle");
...which suggests that the error lies in the code that creates the marker element.
