[html-formfu] Dynamic Form Elements....

[Johannes]

Thank you for the solution Carl!

After puzzling a bit it works now the second way you proposed.

Though the "Chained('foo') :PathPart :Args(0)" part wasn't necessary...

Just did as you told me, added the elements before checking if  
submitted or not, then processed, then checked for submitted or not  
and if not submitted populated the elements with the actual values.

Thanx a lot for your help!!!

Nice greetings from snowy austria,
Johannes
