How about one single field for the authors with a button that adds the value to a multi select. Then when you are adding the form values to the database, you just loop over the value of the multi select

I would really like to just be able to add as many dropdown lists as required. -- Jillian -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 8:26 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Add additional rows You could do a pop-up window that handles adding a row to the database and then uses javascript to update a multiple select list with the new option that was added. It's a bit cumbersome, but if you don't know the limits of how many you want to add at a time, that's probably easiest.

I have a form that adds content to a database --but I need to be able to allow my user to dynamically add rows (for additional authors) to the form... because he never knows how many authors there will be. So I need a way to add the lines without reloading the page/losing the form data (or do I have to just populate the form with 'form variables'?). I also need a way to loop through the results and insert them into the database. Has somebody done this that they can either show me / help me through the logic on this one? -- Jillian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
