Hi there,

I started with a form, which is made by hand because of it's complexity (it's a javascript modified form, with sortable parts, etc). The problem is that now I need to do the validation, and it's a total mess to do it from scratch in the action using the sfValidator* classes.

So, I am thinking to do it using sfForm so that my form validation and error handling can be done more easier and so I can reuse this form for the Edit and Create pages.

The form is something like this:

<form>
  <input name="form[year]"/>
  <textarea name="form[description]"></textarea>
  <div class="sortable">
    <div class="item">
      <input name="form[items][0][name]"/>
      <input name="form[items][0][age]"/>
    </div>
    <div class="item">
      <input name="form[items][1][name]"/>
      <input name="form[items][1][age]"/>
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

The thing is that the sortable part of the form can be expanded from 2 to N elements on the client side. So that it has variable items quantity which can be reordered.

How can I approach this problem?

Any ideas are welcome,
thank you. :)
