Re: Loose inputfields and submitbuttons

Never mind!

I found it out already! For the record:

I just added $form->create(null, array('action' => 'refreshcart'')
before the table.

The loose inputfields are then scattered around the HTML table where I
want them as $form->input('Product.'.$id, 'value' => $amount) So they
have a unique name and just a $form->end. after the table.

The action in the controller then gets an array which lists all the
inputboxes as [$id] => [$amount]... A simple foreach loop then
rewrites my Cookie...

So lesson learned: Passing null and ''action' to the form->create
makes your own little form for a specific action and you can scatter
the $form->inputs everywhere you want, as long as they are within the
create and end tags..!
