Hi, all.

I am using django.forms.Form to validate form data in a survey applications.

In a survey-creating form, a user can submit multiple questions that belong to the survey being created.

Names for the question inputs are in the form of 'question_seq' , where seq is maintained using Javascript.

Back in the server side, my code doesn't know before hand how many such questions will be submitted.

Is there any way to do this with Django form so that the form can automatically recognizes the questions and validate them?
