Dominic, Could you give a high level overview of what is going on here and how you were able to implement the Parent -> Child model in a single form?
Following your links, I wasn't able to discern where/if the input form was actually accepting values for multiple tables. I need similar functionality to Portly, and don't really want to go the iframe route. Specifically I need to show the 'children' of a table in the same input form as the parent.
