  56 +I&#39;d already had a look at this idea before you posted this suggestion, and I ran into difficulties.
  57 +So far as I can see, it makes most sense to use the mechanisms already in place for editing pages, and enhance them.
  58 +Unfortunately, the whole edit-page setup expects a template file (by default, when editing pages, editpage.tmpl)
  59 +and anything apart from \&quot;submit\&quot; buttons must have a placeholder in the template file, or it doesn&#39;t get displayed at all in the form.
  60 +At least, that&#39;s what I&#39;ve found - I could be mistaken.
  61 +
  62 +But if it&#39;s true, that rather puts the kybosh on dynamically generated forms, so far as I can see.
  63 +I mean, if you knew beforehand what all your fields were going to be, you could make a copy of editpage.tmpl, add in your fields where you want, and then make a plugin that uses that template instead of editpage.tmpl, but that&#39;s very limited.
  64 +
  65 +If someone could come up with a way of making dynamic forms, that would solve the problem, but I&#39;ve come up against a brick wall myself.  Joey?  Anyone?
