Hi Ram, I can't address the Rails side of this question (never having used Rails), but you can do this easily enough on the client side.
As it happens, this question of adding form elements dynamically just came up in this group yesterday: http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/2867be80ba30b2e9# Element#insert won't work (reliably) for form fields because it uses innerHTML, which doesn't quite work correctly on all browsers for form fields. (It does for everything else, AFAIK.) So you have to do DOM stuff instead (which Prototype makes easier in a variety of ways); see the linked discussion above for details. HTH, -- T.J.
