Ryan and Dave,
Thank you guys for the feedback.
It helped a lot. I don't know how but it works! (sharing and writting about difficulties surprisingly open the mind. It makes you to look outsite the box.

It turned out I wrote the datasource on TCL and a json structure to move the data here and there, between the javascript and TCL structures.

I saw openacs lacks json interfaces. Its API is very poor. Isn't?

Am I correct?

Iuri,

You might be interested in the qf_ form API. It's made for scenarios like the one you have, with multiple arrays, dynamically declared forms and fields etc:

It doesn't include javascript, but it's easily added.

cheers,

Torben
