Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m not going to pay for support for an edge case you didn’t consider/race condition of your creation. If anyone comes across this, I solved the problem as follows. Dev, if I’m wrong about this, feel free to correct me.

<script>
(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function () {
//hijack cff inline binding
var form = $(‘form’), oldSubmit = form[0].onsubmit;
form[0].onsubmit = null;
//new binding
form.submit(function() {
//trigger a doc change, which will fire xhr in the plugin
$(‘document’).trigger(‘change’);
//when everyone is finished (DB calls retrieved), call the old binding
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
oldSubmit.call(this);
});
});
});
})(jQuery);
</script>

I don’t need you to do anything custom. I want to better understand how cff works, and this will benefit everyone on the forum.

When I make a field type HTML Content and it looks like this:

<div class=”fields ” id=”field_1-14″><label for=”fieldname12_1″>Phone Number<span class=”r”>*</span></label><div class=”dfield”>
<input id=”phone” name=”tel” class=”field large required valid” type=”tel” value=””><span class=”uh”></span>
</div><div class=”clearer”></div></div>

the “tel” field is POSTed back to the server.

But when I add additional <input>’s, they are NOT POSTed back to the server, like this:
<div class=”fields ” id=”field_1-14″><label for=”fieldname12_1″>Phone Number<span class=”r”>*</span></label><div class=”dfield”>
<input id=”phone” name=”tel” class=”field large required valid” type=”tel” value=””>
<input type=”hidden” id=”firstname” name=”firstname” value=””><span class=”uh”></span>
</div><div class=”clearer”></div></div>

to clarify, i am essentially adding <inputs> with static names to the form, using the dynamic values, so my server side code only ever needs to look for $_POST[“address”], not $_POST[“somedynamicid”]
