I have a html page with a form. I would like to nest another form within this, but i'm not sure whether it is possible. is it?
Alternatively, i could keep the forms seperate, but I would like to only have one submit button. Is there anyway of doing this?

Thanks

Georgina
 
what info do you need to have in the form(s)? Tony

Forms really SHOULD NOT be nested... Why do you need to nest them at all? -----------------------

its just a standard input. e.g your name, your email address.
Students have to select their course from a drop down list.
which is dynamic e.g if they choose science, they get another drop down menu saying physics, chemistry, or biology
these two drop down lists are in a <form> of their own.
but i need all the information to be submitted at once

 
This can all be contained with one FORM. Some additional Javascript will be required to populate the second dropdown menu with the approriate content depending on the first. There have been many posts on this recently in the Javascript forum so you shouldnt have any trouble finding help there.

It's posible to do this without making javascript create elements on the fly by using layering, and using javascript to simply modify their z-indexes. This method would use a lot less code, and be easier to modify. -----------------------
