Thanks, I understand what you are saying but what I need is to be able
to edit mutliple items at once.
For example if I have to edit 20 countries, clicking on every one,
editing it and saving it would take me alot more time then selecting
the ones I need to edit and having them presented in 1 page to be
edited and saved.
I also need to validate them but, for example, being all
"Country.name" I don't know how to obtain this.
For the part about the parser, Thanks! I'm pretty new to php and
cakephp, but willing to learn.
