        $('.appendvalue > td > a').live("click", function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $(this).prev().prev().toggle();
            $(this).prev().toggle();

Answer 1

Try this instead:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.appendvalue > td > a').live("click", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        var $this = $(this);
        $this.prevAll().toggle();
        $this.toggle(function() { $this.text("select from dropdown"); }, function() { $this.text("add static value"); });
    });
});

Answer 2

.toggle() is really a convenience method for click events, so using .toggle() within the click event handler of the same element is going to be problematic. Instead...

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.appendvalue > td > a').live("click", function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).prevAll().toggle();
        if ($(this).parent().find("input").is(":hidden")) {
            $(this).text("add static value");
        } else {
            $(this).text("select from dropdown");
        }
    });
});
