JS: fiddle for creating dynamic select fails under IE11

I was recently reading this old SO question: Dynamically add input type select with options in Javascript

about dynamically creating the options for a <select> element. I understand that issue and think Chandu's answer is fine.

I took the JSFiddle of the OP and Chandu's answer and forked that into a JS Fiddle of my own that seems to work fine under Chrome (updated yesterday) and Firefox (52.6.0): http://jsfiddle.net/h1cg7ncy/2/

But that fiddle seems to fail under IE 11.

The IE console is showing: 'addinput' is undefined

I guess there is something about the way IE does things that I'm not understanding.

My question is: "How can this jsFiddle be fixed so that it works the same under Chrome, Firefox and IE11?"

Thanks!
