Is this possible: Within content/edit entry have one field that you can click to duplicate the field...

    This is hard to explain in the title but this is the idea:

    I created a jquery slider.

    Each slide is a div with the same properties except for the html content within.

    If you have one slide, the parent/child structure mirrors the next slide and the next.


    For example only:

    <div class="slide_container">
             Here is my content for the 1st slide
    </div>
    
    <div class="slide_container">
             Here is the next slide
    </div>

     

    A user (admin/content provider) would login and use the content/entry edit screen to post content to the slide. If they want another slide, they can DUPLICATE the field (for example called slide content) and it will then allow them to add content to the next slide.

    Do you know of any plugins or innate functionality that would perform such a duty?

    Thanks

    Cases like this are a clear match for a Matrix field:
