Hi!
Raymond, thats it!!!
It sounds great with the clone, i think that was the thing i was after :)
> tp.cloneField('field1', 'field1.1','field1.2');
> tp.addChild(new DynLayer(),'field1.1');
> tp.addChild(new DynLayer(),'field1.2');
So if i get this right, the cloneField will take the first parameter and and
placeholders in the field1 with names, field1.1 and field1.2?
This will be so great :)
Thanks raymond!
Regards
Daniel
