nested forms in javascript

[greyone]

Hello everybody. Suppose you have this structure :
<form name=&quot;super&quot;>
<form name=&quot;sub&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;whatever&quot; value=&quot;4&quot;>
</form>
</form>.
How can I access via Javascript to the &quot;whatever&quot; value? I have tried :
document.super.sub.whatever.value, of course, it doesn't work. Please help

why are you using nested forms? I have never seen a situation where this is necessary, nor a solution to your problem jared@aauser.com

You cannot nest forms. It doesn't work with HTML or JavaScript. If you need different actions to be taken depending on different fields, then that is something you will have to do with client- or server-side scripting of a single form.

yes, tom &amp; jaredn are right ! and i think i guess what you want to do with 2 forms, and the very best way is to do 1 form and 2 (or as many as you neeed) validation functions
