Dear all,
I am involved ina project in which I require to create text fields dynamically. What I want is a user should be able to fill a form in which he should be able to set the field name and field type. When he clicks create button he /she should be able to see the field created.

Please help.

hi,
it can be done using javascript,
but using php will be a bit tough

create two fields, one for taking the name (nm) other for taking the type (ty).
create a button called "Create".
create a hidden field called h1.

paste the following script in the <head>
function GenField
{
fld="<input type='"+docuemnt.FrmName.ty.value+"' name='"+docuemnt.FrmName.nm.value+"'>"
docuemnt.FrmName.h1.value=docuemnt.FrmName.h1.value+fld
document.FrmName.submit()
}

on the onclick event of the "Create" button call the
function

have the following code in PHP

<%
//get the value of h1 in h2
=$h2
%>

hope this helps
