issue with multiple forms in an html page
I have an HTML page that contains 2 forms. Here is a simplified representation of what the form structure looks like:
<form name="formA" action=./formA.jsp method="get">
<input type="Submit" name="InputFormA" value="SubmitA">
</form>
<form name="formB" action=./formB.jsp method="get">
<input type="Submit" name="InputFormB" value="SubmitB">
</form>
The problem I'm having is that when the button in Form B is clicked, a submit request is sent to formA.jsp. If I comment out the code for form A, then the form B button correctly submits to formB.jsp. I'm going to try to upload the actual code that is exhibiting the problem.
<form name="formA" action=./formA.jsp method="get">
<input type="Submit" name="InputFormA" value="SubmitA">
</form>
<form name="formB" action=./formB.jsp method="get">
<input type="Submit" name="InputFormB" value="SubmitB">
</form>
The problem I'm having is that when the button in Form B is clicked, a submit request is sent to formA.jsp. If I comment out the code for form A, then the form B button correctly submits to formB.jsp. I'm going to try to upload the actual code that is exhibiting the problem.

put your action in quotes ... and make sure you have a closing </form> tag for form A before the opening <form tag for form B.

The problem had to do with how I had the first form nested inside a table definition. Thanks for all the suggestions - I spilt up the points 4 ways.
