In your case, let's say it is called Author. Using some JS you can dynamically add rows to the table/form and name them Author1, Author2, Author3, etc. Each of these new form elements goes in a new row which is contained within a TBODY. Using another little bit of JS, set a hidden form field "AuthorCount" equal to the row count (use JS to get this also). Submit the form. On the processing page you can use AuthorCount to help you loop over all the Author fields. Let me know if you need some specific code help... I have done this a couple times.
