He covers WDDX in the Advanced book and does an absolutely excellent
job of it. I really would recommend getting your hands on it.

I think you have a good idea there & you can definitely do this with
WDDX and Javascript. I have done something similar only with XML at
the back end rather than a database.
Of the top of my head I guess you'll need to send two packets:
one with the actual data and one with the metadata from the system
catalog.
If you like you can build the form elements by explicitly
manipulating the browser DOM.
Only do it this way if you're comfortable with JavaScript though.
Otherwise you could ignore WDDX and simply generate HTML form
elements in your template.
