HTML - A <form> Inside Another <form>

Hi all,

I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc.

Can this be done?

Thanks

I have a form with a number of elements. One of these elements is:

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

Clicking on that element makes the form submit.

But if I add a similar element:

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit2" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

...clicking on that also makes the form submit.

So was wondering if anyone knew what the rules were for which elements make a form submit?

Cheers,
James

Help me plz...... Im not good with those thingz..

I have a simple signup form on my site that I want to pass the input to the larger signup form. Here is the code for the simple form:

<form action="http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">

The larger signup form is located he http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp

I want the email address from the simple form to move to the larger form when the submit button is pressed. Ideas?

So i want to Post and Get in the same form for reasons of keeping the URL looking clean. I need to pass a PHP array through to the next page, and I don't want random gibberish in the URL. So, I can just Post this, but this is for a search page, and it would be nice to Get their search query for the reasons of the advantage of Get over Post, and because it looks better in my opinion.

Anyways. The thing I am posting takes no user input, and it is defined in the beginning of the page. The thing I want to Get is user defined in a textbox.

So, I need the method of the Form to be Get, but is it possible to also Post something?

Thanks, If i wasn't clear i'm sorry and i'll try to explain it better.

Hi guy,

I tried to do some googling before i come to here. the problem is that i don't know what are the name or keyword for this, therefore i cannot find any relevant result.

Let's say, i have many same html with different file name file filled with tables that i dont' want users to open and use it. Can i create another separate forms using html to fill in the blanks on the table cell maybe after i click submit button?

Or it's easier to use VB to write a program and do the job?


Please help.

I have created a form with multiple different buttons, the first button is required to open a pop up box to show a list of people who live in a certain postcode.

HTML Code:

<div id="form">
<form name="f1" method="post"/>
  <p> ID: <br/>
    <input name="ID" type="text" value="Leave Blank" />
  </p>
  <p> Name: <br/>
    <input name="Name" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Address: <br/>
    <input name="Address" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Postcode:<br/> 
    <input name="Postcode" type="text" /> 
  <input type='submit' value='Check' onclick="popup('popUpDiv')" />
  <p><a href="#" onclick="popup('popUpDiv')">Find Person</a></p>
  </p>
  <p> Telephone: <br/>
    <input name="Telephone" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Mobile: <br/>
    <input name="Mobile" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> AltTelephone: <br/>
    <input name="AltTelephone" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Email: <br/>
    <input name="Email" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Date: <br/>
    <input name="Date" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p>Notes: <br/>
    <input name="Notes" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> CompanyNotes: <br/>
    <input name="CompanyNotes" type="text" />
  </p>
  <p> Payment: <br/>
    <input name="Payment" type="text" value="Leave Blank for 0" />
  </p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" Value='Book' onclick="f1.action='insert.php'; return true " />
    
    <!--<div id="wheel"><a href="instructorSearch.php"onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"><img id="mainLogo" src="im/wheel.png" alt="Driving School Logo" /></a></div> !-->
    
  </p>
  <p><input type="submit" Value='Enquire' onclick="f1.action='insertEnquire.php'; return true " />
</form>

The first button on the code works but the pop up only displays for a split second, the hyperlink underneath the button opens the pop up for good but cannot get the variable from the form....

I am creating a form that will list the status of 36 pieces of equipment with a brief explanation of the status. I'm currently thinking of dividing this into three columns of 12 with a check box to signify the piece of equipment has a status problem and a text box to type a short description of the problem. Is there a better way?

Any help is appreciated.

ok i have a rele big, and i think pretty complicated question:

i'm ok at my html, me and my friend recently started a small bussiness and we were gonna make online ordering of our product, beanies, an option. i put the order form together, it looks great, everything on the form does what its supposed to:

www.altibuzz.com/orderform.html

the problem comes in with the submission of the form. i use brinkster to host my site, and i did not pay for the upgrade to use php, so i kno im stuck with using asp for the submission. I also kno that getting the form data emailed to myself is a possibilty, and ive played around with a few codes to try and do this, but i cant seem to get them to work. Brinkster provided me with this page to help:

http://kb.brinkster.com/Kb.asp?kb=114498

that didnt help me very much tho because i dont rele kno what to do with it

can someone help me figure out how to either make my form send me an email with the data it collects or even just make like a page show up when submit is pressed that displays the data and that the user could copy and paste into an email to send to me

THANKS!

Good day
i operate a commodore 64 web server its runs from a real commodore 64 built in 1982.

I would like to create a small html script that will allow users to leave a small note
on the commodore 64 web server.

Basically a small html script that will create a txt file say form.txt then allow the user
to write to it.

Then someone else can read it at a later date from a link i create to it.

The web server contiki the commodore uses only supports basic html codes.

Thanks for any and all input www.c64web.com.

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I'm working on a webpage for a friend of mines business. We are just trying to get basic information online and allow customers to review the service that they provide. I am trying to create a simple form, I have the exact coding that I have on the page copied below. The only thing that is submitting to the email is first and last name. Nothing else is coming through and I'm not sure what my mistake is. . .probably something simple, if anyone could let me know that'd be great.

Thanks
