Form Generation Library

[eluser]happydude[/eluser]
I have been trying to build forms dynamically via javascript ( e.g. $(form_element).clone().appendTo(form_element_parent); )

In my server side code, I do something like this:

$this->form
->text('product', 'product[]', 'required')
->text('quantity', 'quantity[]', 'required')
->submit('Make Order', 'submit_order')
->validate();

if ($this->form->valid) {
$input = $this->form->get_post();
}

Now, on the test page, via javascript, I clone the input boxes in the form above and I append them... to create extra product+quantity inputs.

My understanding is that by using product[] and quantity[], I should get arrays of values coming from the dynamically generated fields.

What I get is a single array... containing just the values for the first field.

Also, if I intentionally leave any of the fields blank, just to test how the "required" rule will work, the field is with the text "Array()" when the page reloads.

Any help will be appreciated.
