Question

Hi I’m having trouble adding fields to a form and retrieving them in the controller.

I can easily add fields to a form on button click which is what using:

$('#addButton').click(function()
{
     $('#EBASTab').append($('<tr><td>Hello</td><td><input style="height:' + 10 + 'px; width:' + 100 + 'px;"></input></td></tr>'));

but when I try retrieve the forms data using:

$value = $this->request->data;

The field I added to the bottom of the table doesn’t get taken in.

Any idea how I can add the fields to my cakephp form?

Thanks in advance.

There’s no name attribute, that’s why not in post data. Add a name="data[Model][field]" attribute to the input.
