Multiple / Nested Forms
Hi,
Does anyone know if its possible to have nested forms on a JSP? Essentially
have a html form, then another form within it.
Thanks,
Suzy

Unless something changed while I wasn't looking, nested forms are not
allowed in HTML.

Are you trying to submit to different urls with different submit buttons?

If you have that you have invalid HTML.

I didn't catch this original post but I was actually wondering how to manage embedded forms with Struts1.
In the example below, it would be nice to submit the inner form and then in the inner action class have available the inner form and the outer form, and to do so without having to manually copy over each field. Any creative ideas? :)
So if I have:
<form id="outer" method="post" action="/outer.do">
...
<form id="inner" method="post" action="/inner.do">
...
</form>
</form>

Cheers guys,
I'm trying to submit two forms but one of the forms requires calculated
values from the second so was wondering if it was possible to put one form
within the other.
Thanks Dale, I'll go with the javascript option of copying the required
fields as hidden fields for the initial form.
Thanks
Suzy

What is it that you're trying to achieve?
If you have some inputs you want to appear in several forms the two
simplest solutions would be 1> to have multiple forms and add javascript
to copy values from one into hidden fields in the other just before
submission, or 2> to add them all into a single form and either adjust
the submission page with javascript before submission or put logic in
the action to recognize which submission button was pressed and do the
right thing.

AFAIK that would be invalid HTML (and wouldn't make any sense anyway).
