I have not used form values in this way before and am unsure if they
will work this way. Typically $form_state['storage'] is where you might
place these values that are part the form that may be modified by ajax
callback handlers. Have you tried using $form_state['storage'] instead
of $form_state['values'] for your $all_categories data?

Subject: [support] Drupal 7 AHAH/AJAX issue
Hi List
I am trying to learn ajax stuff in Drupal 7.
I want to have a simple questionnaire form. Where I will have a single
textfield.
In that text field one will type a question category, and if he wants to
type more question categories, user need to click a button "Add More
Categories".
Please see link
http://www.netcloudsystems.com/?q=questionnaire/form/manage
The whole source code is at the end of this email. When ajax callback
fires, I want to remember how many textfields I need to add, so that
when a section of form is updated in _form() hook, I can according add
those many textfields.
I am trying to manage that using a variable "$all_categories" and form
element $form['all_categories'] (of type value).
I tried many options, always I find $all_categories value is 1. So I
am unable to add more textfields.
My observation is whatever I set in ajax callback, in _form hook api, I
find value is lost.
Kindly guide me what I am missing.
Best Regards
