Well... I hadn't actually thought of doing it this way. I'm going to do my own research here in a minute --but is it complicated to do a database insert/recall for editing using a multiple select box? I've never done this.
I wouldn't like this idea for an open system... But it for a closed system...

The user can select/deselect multiple items in the list by dragging the mouse down the list or holding control when clicking them <select name="authors" multiple> <option value="1">Author 1</option> <option value="2">Author 2</option> <option value="3">Author 3</option> <option value="4">Author 4</option> <option value="5">Author 5</option> <option value="6">Author 6</option> <option value="7">Author 7</option> <option value="8">Author 8</option> </select> -----Original Message----- From: Jillian Koskie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 10:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Add additional rows Good morning, I have a bit of an unusual problem, that I am hoping has a very easy solution. 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.
