It’s more in-depth than say normal forms or building out your content object but not overtly so. A quick search pops up this <a href="http://www.carduner.net/docs/z3c-tutorial/forms.html">http://www.carduner.net/docs/z3c-tutorial/forms.html</a> tutorial which is pretty good.<BR>

Issues like that led me to z3c.form, which implements subforms that can be<BR>
used to do things like that and much more.<BR>
<BR>
Although it's complicated - and I tell you - it's really complicated - it's<BR>
absolutely worth it. If you are interested, I recommend to have a look at<BR>
z3c.formdemo which points out several applications.<BR>
<BR>
