Description
Hi, I'm currently using 5.x and was wondering how I can allow for more tabs to be created on a content type? I can add the "multiple values" option but it only creates space for 4 tabs. Is there a way I can allow for more tabs to be added by the user when submitting the content type like the 6.x version allows?
Thanks for your help,
Justin.

This limitation comes from limitations in the drupal 5 version of CCK and the form API which doesn't allow dynamically created fields, so it is unfortunately not possible to get the dynamic behavior of the drupal 6 version.
If you need to create more tabs in drupal 5, submit the form and edit your node and you will have more fields available.

Thanks for the reply, that seems to work ok. However I noticed that doing it this way if any tabs are not used the node will display incomplete tab diagrams. For example if I use 4 tabs and then preview the page so I can get 4 more tabs, if I then only use 2 more the remaining 2 will still show tabs (just incomplete). Any ideas?
Thanks again, your help's appreciated.

The issue with additional tabs getting rendered with a broken diagram was fixed in the drupal 6 version, and has been backported to the drupal 5 version around. Please update to the latest version to get this fixed.
