can't push the value properly

I'm having a bad time trying to push some values to an array. Here's the concept:

1. With the press of a button, I am adding input boxes to the page

function addAnInput(){
    document.getElementById("new").innerHTML += 'Insert link: <input id="gate' + gate + '" type="text" size="120%" /><br />';
    gate += 1;
    count.push(gate.toString());
}

This allows me to infinitely add boxes to the page. I use the boxes to input some links.

---

2. A second button, should normally read the values in the boxes and push them in an Array through a for loop.

function whichOne(){
    gatePush = 0;
    daLink = [];
    for (i = 0; i < count.length; i += 1){
        function whatPush(){return document.getElementById("gate" + gatePush).value}
        var thisPush = whatPush();
        daLink.push(thisPush);
        gatePush += 1;
    };
}

---

3. The second for loop, it should choose randomly a value from the Array and use it in order to open the designated link.

for (i = 0; i < howMany; i += 1){       
        function thisNow(){return Math.floor(Math.random() * daLink.length);}
        var thisOne = thisNow();
        if (daLink[thisOne] != "")
            window.open(daLink[thisOne], "_blank");
    };

---

But, as I stood awake all night and tried to rewrite over and over again, I just can't seem to run the code correctly. It seems to be a problem in pushing the input values into the 'daLink' array. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong here?

Here is the full script for a better throughout view:
- one button for the addAnInput() function;
- one button for the whichOne()function;

var count;
var howMany = document.getElementById("how-many").value;
var gate = 0;
var gatePush;
var daLink;


//==============================================================================
//
//Using the 'gate' variable in order to give a different id for each new input.
//
//Need the 'gate' value pushed into 'count' as string for later use.
//
//==============================================================================
function addAnInput(){
    document.getElementById("new").innerHTML += 'Insert link: <input id="gate' + gate + '" type="text" size="120%" /><br />';
    gate += 1;
    count.push(gate.toString());
}

//==============================================================================
//
//During each loop, the 'whatPush()' function is calling the value of each input
//and stores it in the 'thisPush' variable.
//The stored value is then pushed in the 'daLink' array
//
//==============================================================================
function whichOne(){
    gatePush = 0;
    daLink = [];
    for (i = 0; i < count.length; i += 1){
        function whatPush(){return document.getElementById("gate" + gatePush).value}
        var thisPush = whatPush();
        daLink.push(thisPush);
        gatePush += 1;
    };


    //=============================================================
    //
    //Once the 'daLink' array has stored the values, the for loop opens
    //a new tab  randomly using one of the stored values.
    //
    //=============================================================
    for (i = 0; i < howMany; i += 1){       
        function thisNow(){return Math.floor(Math.random() * daLink.length);}
        var thisOne = thisNow();
        if (daLink[thisOne] != "")
            window.open(daLink[thisOne], "_blank");
    };
}
