Re: Dynamic form generation

Hi,

take a look at my contrib package (sam). There's a form generation
mechanism.
You specify a form using a XML description and hold some templates for
various form types in the HTML presentation. 
Before the model directives are resolved, the form fields are copied
using the above noted templates.

Any comments or change request for the contrib are welcome.

Regards,
Stefan
