In this case, no, I'm creating a sort of 'uber' form that based on previous 
selections displays a different node/add form to the user.  My original plan 
was to gather all the elements of all the node forms, set them to unrequired, 
and display them either in a multistep process, or via ajax reveals onclick of 
the previous elements.

I am going to spend some time taking a look at ctools, and if I don't find what 
I need there, move on to just creating my own form elements.

Thanks.

Would hook_form_alter()'ing the node/add form you're operating on not work for 
your purpose?

Could be I am missing something easy here, but is there a standard way to get

I want it after all the hook_form_alters ave happened, but I want the array, 
not the html drupal_render generates?

I'm working on a custom form that I want to potentially create several nodes.  
I could just manually create the same fields and then deal with the submit, but 
it seems to me that they must already exist *exactly* how I want them anyway.   
Currently I have the following:

function my_form($form, &$form_state) {
 $my_form = array();

 // Some fields added to $my_form...

 $fake_node->type = 'my_content_type';

 $node_form = node_form(&$form_state, $fake_node);

 $form = array_merge($node_form, $form);

 //More fields added to $my_form...

 return $form;
}

However, that just gives me the standard node fields, not the CCK fields that 
exist in my_content_type.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
