<Form> tag within <form> tag

Hi All

Is there a way of getting a 3rd party search function that uses its own form to work inside the form tags of my asp.net 2 page?

The the code of the 3rd party search can be found here:

http://www.upmystreet.com/about-us/l...-upmystreet/l/

Is there a way to use forms within forms like so?..

Code:

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<form id="another">
...
</form>
</form>

Many thanks in advance

Hi Rit,

You can't nest forms, so that won't work. However, you could place the third party form outside yours, like this:

Code:

<form id="another">
...
</form>

<form id="form1" runat="server">
</form>

HtH,

Thanks Imar.

The only issue I have with that is that I am using a master file to house my template and main .net form tags and this 3rd part form would be nested in a content file.

Not to worry I will have to find another alternative... I was thinking of creating an event that carries the 3rd party form values in a query string to an interim page that is then submittable... I just felt this was a little clunky.

Thanks anyway and all the best.

Actually because the 3rd party form uses the 'Get' method I should be able to create a button event that sends the form details directly to their service rather than an interim page of mine.
