Here is how the form looks with one existing record (event)... and then with one newly added to the DOM/HTML (before saving... ) using jQuery:
<li id="cs_0" class="ui-state-default"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-2-n-s"></span> <div class="input text"> <input type="text" id="Event0Title" value="First Session" maxlength="255" name="data[Event][0][title]"> </div> <div class="input textarea"> <textarea id="Event0Description" rows="5" cols="30" name="data[Event] [0][description]">This is the first event.</textarea> </div> <div class="item_id"> <input type="hidden" id="Event0Id" value="1" name="data[Event][0] [id]"> </div> </li> <li class="ui-state-default" id="cs_1"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-arrowthick-2-n-s"></span> <div class="input text"> <input type="text" id="Event1Title" value="First Session" maxlength="255" name="data[Event][1][title]"> </div> <div class="input textarea"> <textarea id="Event1Description" rows="5" cols="30" name="data[Event] [1][description]">This is the first event.</textarea> </div> <div class="item_id"></div> </li> I have it just clone an existing form input section and replace the fields with a new id (using numbers... 1, 2, 3...) so it appears to have the same name and id form fields as the fields that do get saved. I was under the same impression (and still am,) as your comment about the automagic action of the form and saving happening after the form is finally sent... but somehow it's not picking up these new form fields. I've checked to make sure that the fields are indeed within the same <UL> tag just in case that made a difference. It seems like some tiny little issue is causing this to happen... but I still can't quite find it. I noticed that you wrote about how the field name format is data['Event'][1]['fieldname'] with those single quote marks included. In my form, the format without single quotes seems to be working for the existing entries... but for the newly added (DOM/HTML) fields, no success. Do you know if those single quotes matter in this case? Thanks, Andy Thanks again for your help.
