Do you mean the input fields for your tables or the join table ?
You can indeed use the html helper, like this:
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
</td>
<?=$html->input('Company/name')?>
<?=$html->tagErrorMsg('Missing or invalid name')?>
</td>
</tr>
As for views and the join table:
You need to create an add() action/method in the join table model.
I use some javascript to set the href/target of something like:
(i'm using AJAX and autocomplete and the works)
<?=$html->link(
'Add',
'/companiesMembers/add/
array('id'=>'joinhabtm', 'onClick'=>'return(goAddHABTM())')
)?>
This could however be done differently, with a second form or something.
That all depends on how you implement the add() of your join table model.
There's nothing special about the join table model. Your actions/methods
also get a $this->data with the submitted form data.
Nothing stops you from adding a second form to your view and POSTing
that data to the join controller:
(hmm this is just throwing stuff together as i'm doing this way different
but it might point you and others in the right direction)
<?=$html->formTag('/companiesMembers/add')?>
<?=$html->hiddenTag('Company/id')?>
<?=$html->selectTag('Member/Member', $members)?>
<?=$html->submit('Add it');?>
</form>
Your controller should set $members from the model with e.g.:
$this->set('members', $this->Members->generateList());
