UI Page - How to programmatically create 10 input fields

[Jim Coyne]

I'll prefix this by saying I know just enough about Jelly to be dangerous.   I'm trying to add some text input fields on a UI Page.   Right now it's limited to 10 fields, but it may change to another number and I'm planning on switching it to a property later on, but just want to get this to work as is with a hard coded 10 items:

<j2:set var="jvar_serialnumbers" value="1" />
<j2:while test="$[jvar_serialnumbers != 10]">
       <tr class="item" id="extra_lines2_$[jvar_serialnumbers]">
               <td colspan="6"></td>
               <td colspan="2">
                       <label>Serial Number</label>
                       <input type="text" size="14"
                               name="serial_$[jvar_serialnumbers]"
                               id="serial_$[jvar_serialnumbers]"
                               value="serial_$[jvar_serialnumbers]"/>
               </td>
       </tr>
       <g2:evaluate var="jvar_serialnumbers" expression="jvar_serialnumbers=jvar_serialnumbers+1;" />
</j2:while>

I thought this should work, but only 1 field is being added.   I originally tried:

<j2:while test="$[jvar_serialnumbers ${AMP}lt; 10]">

on line 2 but it gives me the following error: Error at (125, 53): null:-1:-1: <null> Unable to create expression: jvar_serialnumbers < 10

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I have used your idea to programmatically create 10 reference fields in my ui page.

Now I have to recall the contents of this fields in the processing script, how can I do?

Thanks,
