It's always a challenge to come up with a cogent subject line when I
don't know what the heck I'm talking about.

I'm using Struts2 and YUI, and I'm pretty new to YUI and JavaScript.

I'm trying to figure out the best strategies for implementing a
dynamic tab panel that will eventually be submitted en masse to the
server. There will be a couple of "static" tabs with a bunch of
fields in them, and there will be actions on the page to add/remove
dynamic tabs, each of which will have quite a few fields, but all the
same fields on all the dynamic tabs. the "id" attributes will specify
an array index to allow the server-side code to differentiate between
the tabs.

When I tried building this prototype with JSF/RichFaces, I ended up
rendering a max of 10 dynamic tabs, but all initially unrendered.
Actions on the page would set or clear the rendered flag on a tab.
I'm not sure whether this strategy will work with YUI. I think not.

Alternatively, I wonder if I can "clone" a hidden region in JavaScript
and mutate all the id fields to reflect an array index.

I could use some comments on this and some ideas.

Thanks.
