I'm trying to handle a certain interface situation.
 
My app is registering a user for a class.  The user can also register
other participants (say she wants to also buy tickets for her husband
and a cousin) by name.  I don't know in advance how many participants
there may be.
 
Possible form approaches I've thought of:
1) start out with one form field for participant, with a button saying
"add another participant" that uses Javascript to insert another field
below (as many times as is necessary)
2) start out by asking the user how many participants there will be, and
then display that many form fields
3) have a single form field with a submit button, and a separate list of
current participants.  When a participant is submitted, they are added
to the list (and can be clicked on in the list and removed if desired).
 
Is the situation clear?  Any suggestions? I'd also welcome pointers to
existing forms that are dealing with similar needs.
 
Thanks!
