.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007basic form question - two forms one page. ??
Hi, I have an asp.net 2.0 page that has two sections. Each section allows the user to enter a value into a text box, click a button and then perform some function. Each text boxes function is different to the other and takes the user to a different part of the web site after doing some SQL work I have placed a form tag around each of the text boxes section. Each has a different 'form id', however when i try to execute the web site, it says 'A page can have only one server-side form tag. How do i cope with my situation ? Thanks > How do i cope with my situation ? Use one form. Each button has its own server-side events, so just take appropriate action as required. E.g. Button1 does its processing and then does a Response.Redirect to page2.aspx (or whatever) Button2 does its processing and then does a Response.Redirect to page7.aspx (or whatever)  SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Hi Aussie, The ASP.NET web page is a customized html based web page, one particularity is that ASP.NET web page use a <form> with "runat=server" attribute, this is used as the container of any other ASP.NET server controls, and all those server controls' postback event can be correctly detected if they're put inside this server-side form tag. Also, there can only contains single "runat=server" <form> tag in an ASP.NET web page. For your scenario, if you want to post different data field entries through different button on the same page, I think you can consider the following two means: 1. If you're using ASP.NET 2.0, you can utilize the "cross-page post" feature, this can let you define multiple buttons on a single page and configure them to postbac k to different url: #How to: Post ASP.NET Web Pages to a Different Page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178140.aspx #Cross-Page Posting in ASP.NET Web Pages http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178139.aspx 2. You can certainly put multiple html <form> tags in a single ASP.NET web page. However, make sure that only one form has the "runat" attribute set as "true". Also, for ASP.NET server controls, they can only be put in "runat=server" <form> e.g. =======in aspx page======== <body> .. <form id="form1" runat="server"> you can put ASP.NET server controls here ........ </form> <form id="form2" action="other page'> you can put only pure html elements here ....... </form> <form id="form2" action="other page'> you can put only pure html elements here ....... </form> ....... ============= If you have any more specific questions on this, please feel free to post here.

Glad to be of assistance! Have a good day! Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead You can have multiple forms but only one can be server-side e.g with runat="server". You can use cross-page postbacks in ASP.NET 2.0 to post on different pages per button basis (set PostBackUrl="targetpage.aspx" on the Button) while having single form on the Page. Assuming that you initiate some task based on Button click...
