Re: Validation - Multiple attempts

I fail to see the benefit in that extra overhead, when you can just
use:

$this->Form->input('Model.id');

The default input will be hidden and if you're using the Security
Component (as you should!) it will be protected from tampering. That
way the ID of the editable record is within $this->data, regardless of
validation error or not. This kills two birds with one line.

Hope that helps,
Nick
