Thanks for the reply, i will look into replacing the add/remove functions with that jquery code, but i('ll) still have the same issue; I can't figure out how to make a controller that will process the whole form and insert all the fields in a database.
I'm trying to write a loop to manually insert each set of fields to the database if form.vars.fieldaN is not empty, but i still can't make it work...
