So, if you have an arbitrary number of columns and when you submit the
form you get:
form.align=left,left,...
form.dname=Agent Version,Allow Client,...
then you can do:
colCount = listLen(form.align);
xml = "";
for (i = 1; i LTE colCount; i++) {
xml &= "<column>";
xml &= "<align>#listGetAt(form.align, i)#</align>";
xml &= "<dname>#listGetAt(form.dname, i)#</dname>";
...
xml &= "</column>";
}
xml = "<columns>#xml#</columns>";
