Re: How to do "Add More"/expanding forms?

Try looking for javascript solutions. Give them the default 5 and a javascript function that prints out another input variable and dynamically names it. Then you can just normally post at the end. i don't think the javascript is difficult either, and i'm sure you could find a script for it. check dynamicdrive.com hotscripts.com and google.
