Multiple List Elements

    I’m just starting out in EE2; I don’t think this is possible, but who knows? Maybe there’s an add-on that makes this possible.

    I have a product channel with a Technical Specs textarea. Using the Rich Text controls we can create an unordered list. But we have two issues:

    1- we want the list displayed in two columns (we can use a CSS3 rule for that in some browsers);

    2- we’re concerned the users may butcher the underlying code and break the list.

    I’ve been asked to create individual TechSpec elements. To me that means creating another channel, related to the products channel. Which means doing an entry for each item in the list; this isn’t acceptable.

    Is there some way to set up the entry form so it has a field for the TechSpec element, and some sort of “Add Another” button, which would dynamically add another TechSpec element field? I imagine it would still have to put that data in a secondary channel.

    Any help appreciated.

    Sounds like a good job for http://pixelandtonic.com/matrix - that will let your client add as many specs as they want and you can control the ouput
