They can work around this by using the repetition features in Web Forms 2.0: | <table> | <tr id="order" repeat="template" repeat-start="1"> | <td> | <select name="email[order].type"> | <option>To:</option> | <option>Cc:</option> | <option>Bcc:</option> | </select> | </td> | <td> | <input type="text" name="email[order].address" pattern="[email]"> | </td> | <td><button type="remove">Remove</button></td> | </tr> | </table> | <p><button type="add" template="order">Add Email Address</button></p> (Note: Replace "[email]" above with a valid pattern value for email.) Are email addresses common enough for an "email" type??? They seem pretty common to me, but we might be overloading the |type| attribute a bit if we add a new value that's so close to being text. Also, that doesn't help the above scenario, because I think Google allows names from an address book in the place of addresses.
