I''m developing some sort of imdb (http://www.imdb.com) application for CDs to practice Ruby on Rails. So a user should be able to upload information of a CD that''s not yet in the database. But I''m wondering what would be the possible ways to send information like tracklists. It seems to me the easiest way is a form with an input box per track, but how let the user easily specify how many boxes he needs?

With the Prototype javascript library you could do something like the
following:
<ol id=''tracklist''>
</ol>
<span id=''track_form''
style=''display:none;''>
<li><%= text_field_tag ''tracks[]'' %></li>
</span>
<%= link_to_function ''Add Another Track'', "new
Insertion.Bottom
(''tracklist'',
$(''track_form'').innerHTML)" %>
That would put a link on the under the tracklist that will add
another form element each time it was clicked.

You''ll probably also want to check out the scriptaculous libraries which are mostly eye-candy, but beautiful, wonderful, mouth watering eye candy. As for the prototype library, that thing comes in handy more often than I can count. Couple of links to those libraries: Prototype: http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/ prototype.js.html#Reference Scriptaculous: http://script.aculo.us Glad it works for you!
