I don't understand your post, I guess. I went to your page and clicked the "+". I quit after unhiding/adding 23 rows. This is in the case of selecting a value from the drop-down, first. If a value isn't selected, you probably SHOULDN'T add but one row. When that's filled out, then you can add an additional row.

Aside from that, I see no necessity to ever "add" rows (as opposed to merely unhiding). Surely you know what a rational maximum would be. Put all those there, hidden. When they're gone, they're gone. Open ended capabilities handed to the client are often a Bad Thang.

Further, when the "Your Name" field is the only one displayed, the "Relationship" widget sounds/looks silly. Perhaps you should change it to "Add Relationship." It should also be moved so that it is aligned with another relationship, if one is created, nothing if one is not. Again, the relationship of a person to him/herself is generally taken for granted.

I also don't understand why you begin with "Parent/Guardian 2". Whatever happened to good 'ol No. One?

Lastly, and off the point, I want to commend you on an excellent initial post on the forum and offer you a hearty welcome. That's not facetious, I'm serious. I nearly had a stroke because you did it so well.
