Re: access global inputfields in multiple controller

I've figured out a solution, but I'd like to get some feedback if it's
complete crazy to do something like this:

in views/layouts/default.ctp I added
<div id="navigation">
<?php echo $this->renderElement('menus/navigation'); ?>
</div>

views/elements/menues/navigation.ctp :
<div>
<?php
echo $html->link(".events","/events");
echo $html->link(".players","/players");
echo $html->link(".teams","/teams");
?>
</div>
<div>
<?php
$target = array();
$target['controller'] = $this->params['controller'];
$target['action'] = $this->params['action'];

foreach($this->params['pass'] as $parameter) {
$target[] = $parameter;
}

echo $form->create(null, array('url' => $target));
echo $form->input('some_text');
echo $form->end();
?>
</div>

so basically I create a form, that posts it value to the current
controller with all the passed parameters (reload with additional form
value).
this works, but I'm not sure if this approach is 'OK'. I also wonder
if there is a more elegant way to call the create function without
building the $target array. like:

$form->create(null, array('url' => array( 'controller' => $this-
>params['controller'], 'action' => $this->params['controller'], $this-
>params['pass'])));
