I guess there was some typo because the second group added does add a group $zeile which is not defined ... why don't you create your Elementarray like this: $el[]= ... and give your "dates" a number ... like: $el[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text', 'Datum'.$i, null,''); $el[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text', 'Betrag'.$i,null, ''); To get seperate rows you will need to use a renderer like ITStatic. I am doing this with: while($i<$max){ $el[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('static', '','', '<tr><td>design element'); $el[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text', 'Datum'.$i, null,''); $el[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('text', 'Betrag'.$i, null, ''); } $this->addGroup($el, 'rows', '', ''); Then I can use 'rows' in my template But I am not proud about this piece of code ... I think ITStatic sounds like this is not what is supposed to be done with it ... (this way I do not have the separation between code and design anymore which is the main purpose of using templates) regards Daniel
