Is it valid to have a html form inside another html form?

Question

Is it valid html to have the following: <form action="a"> <input.../> <form action="b"> <input.../> <input.../> <input.../> </form> <input.../> </form>So when you submit "b" you only get the fields within the inner form. When you submit "a" you get all fields minus those within "b".If it isn't possible, what workarounds for this situation are available?

Answer 1

No, you cannot nest a <form> inside of another <form> per HTML standards. It sounds like at this point you have 2 options. You can either create those as 2 separate forms since they don't share any common information, or you can use JavaScript to obtain the desired result. I would personally just make 2 forms for that though.
