If JavaScript is an option (it would depend completely on it though), you could 
look into the createElement() method it would allow you to add as many fields 
as you want on the fly, client side. You'd just use a hidden field or something 
to hold the count for you so you know how many fields to look for during 
processing.

I've also done this the quick way, which was create the maximum number of 
fields I wanted to allow, then hide them with JS/CSS. When the user clicked 
[Add New Field] it just "unhid" the next field. With JS off, all the fields 
were displayed since hiding them depended on JS.

Subject: Coldfusion - Dynamic Forms

Hi all

I'm working on an application.  I have been developing a form for users to
enter/edit information.

On the form I currently have provision for a user to enter up to 6 phone
numbers as the contact numbers for an organization.

I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this as not all organizations
have 6 contact nos.

I'm wondering if I could have say a drop down menu which allows a user to
select the number of contact numbers that they wish to enter.

i.e. if a user were to select 3 contact nos, then 3 input boxes would be
displayed.  If a user selected 4 then 4 input boxes would be displayed etc
etc etc

Thanks in advance for feed back
