[FLOW3-general] arrays in a HTML <form> and Property Mapping

[mario chiari]

Christian, All

thanks for your help.
I made some progress. 
I succeed to pass an array of objects by a single html form and echo
them back. 


Now, I want to do the same for a two models (Father, Son) package  such
that a user may enter (Echo, Create, Edit), by a single html form, a
number of fathers and, for each of them, a number of sons.
Indeed, for a fixed number of fathers and sons (say two), I succeed to
get something. 

But, I am not sure how to let the user to enter as many items as he wish
(say by providing a simple java script to insert more input fields). 

Moreover, I do think my code is somehow 'wrong', and I appreciate any
advise to write it as it should be written.

Please, give a look at http://pastebin.com/YNYaaMT4 and let me know.

Thanks a lot
cheers
mario
