I''ve definitely made this work before, I think you should inspect your application closer for bugs.

Re: [Spam] Re: [prototype] how i send Dynamic form fieldvalues??
I originally submitted this as a guest on the forum interface to the mailing list. but i guess it never got OK''d... i''m having this same problem, all my form fields do have names and id''s and thier all differant names and so on. heres what i have 1.) autocomplete form that takes a company name from a database 2.) after something is selected from the autocomplete it calls a function that calls "Ajax.Updater" and gets some checkboxes that are made from a list of contacts 3.) that list of checkboxes is placed in a div that IS within the form tags 4.) i submit and show the $_POST vars (it''s php) and none of the checkboxes are there. heres what the check boxes look like when thier displayed by JS <div><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"client_ids[]\" id=\"client_ids_350\" value=\"350" /><i>Contact Name</i></label></div> so everything is there. it''s just like the form won''t submit elements that were added to it''s structure AFTER the page was rendered. is there a way to make it "re-read" all the form elements, or is there a way to send the form and get the values from the ajax added checkboxes. i''m so lost! now i''m having even more problems where i have to submit up to 50 inputs that where created by JS.

I see no reason why dynamic form elements that have been appended to the form (as opposed to the body, which you said you''re already doing -- good) and have name attributes shouldn''t be submitted to the server. I have a couple instances where I''m doing exactly that (although not with Prototype). Do you have a live example? It''s going to be your fastest (and, possibly only) route to a solution. Todd

it sure does, i normally put the form tag inbetween the <table> and the <tr> because that will prevent that huge gap that''s created by the form at the bottom Todd Ross wrote:> On 3/17/06, Todd Ross <rails-spinoffs-25kFIyuv2iRiLUuM0BA3LQ@public.gmane.org> wrote: > >> Swap your <form> and <table> tags.

RE: [Spam] Re: Re: Re: [prototype] how i send Dynamicform
To remove the gap, just use css like:
form {
margin: 0px; /* set margin to 0 because IE and Firefox have
different default margins */
}
