Nesting forms

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jan 15.2004

I am wanting to have a seperate form in the middle of another form, i cant think of any other way to do it as I’m using tables. Below is a diagram of what i mean:

[code]|————-|————-|
| | |
| | |
| FORM 1 | FORM 2 |
| | |
| | |
|————-|————-|
| |
| FORM 1 CONTINUED |
| … |
| … |
| … |
| … |
| |
|—————————|[/code]

would the following work? (where the first submit button submits form 2)

<form name=form1 …>
…
…
…
<form name=form2 …>
…
…
…
<input type=submit>
</form>
…
…
…
<input type=submit>
</form>

Thanks in advance for any help!

@hammerslaneJan 15.2004 — hi, sorry i don't have the answer, but i'm just interested as to why you need two forms on 1 page?

not saying you shouldn't, i'm just interested as to what you're doing really.

@nutheadauthorJan 15.2004 — I'm writing a webmail script and I want it so the left hand side is for to/cc/Subject etc. and on the right it will list and deal with attachments (by means of a pop-up box that will be opened when form 2 is submitted), the main box below is for the body...

I think I'm going to have to think of a better way to do this but I can't be arsed! (plus i'm curious if the above would work)

@soccer362001Jan 15.2004 — If I am recalling correctly it is impossible to nest forms.

@FangJan 15.2004 — Nesting of forms is possible, but not advisable. In [URL=http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#prohibitions]XHTML1[/URL] it is prohibited.
