adding form fields on the fly

	Manipulation a JForm is easy the best place to add fields is to use the preprocessForm function

	protected function preprocessForm(JForm $form, $data, $group = 'content')
	{
	// Add some needed hidden fields
	$fields = array('id','cid');

	foreach ($fields AS $field)
	{
	$element = new SimpleXMLElement('<field></field>');
