OK, so my previous errors seemed to be due to a Windows environment issue. Now I'm back on my Mac things are all working. Anyway....thanks for the help and pointing in the direction of those screencasts. I found Ryan's updated nested form example on Github (complex-form-examples) and it's just what I was looking for. However, I do have a further question regarding table id's.
In my application I have a recipe with multiple steps. Using the complex form example, I can create, edit and delete the steps of a recipe. However, the step id's are always incrementing. I.E. I create two steps which have id's of 1 and 2 respectively. If I now delete the second step and add another I now have id's 1 and 3. id 2 has been 'consumed' which means that a simple loop using the id's to generate an html list won't work. Is this just the way table id's work when they are deleted or is it specific to this implementation in the complex form example? Is the solution to work out how many steps are present and increment an integer to use as the index in the template? Thanks.
