Re: Adding table row with AJAX

It is my understanding that CakePHP is planning to migrate to jQuery
in the near future (much like the rest of the world, even my
grandmother, and she doesn't even have a computer!).

I use jQuery to add an extra row by cloning the last row, incrementing
the ids and names of the elements and appending it to the container.
Works very well without the need for any "ajax".

Cheers,
Adam
