[SOLVED] Multiple HTML forms on 1 page

[SharkBait]

 

Am I allowed to have multiple forms on a single web page?

 

<form action="search.php" name="meh" method="post">

  <input type="text" name="name" />

  <input type="submit" name="newname" value="Lookup"/>

</form>

<p>Some stuff here</p>

<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" name="blah">

  <input type="text" name="address" />

  <input type="submit" name="newaddress" value="Go" />

</form>

 

With Firefox it works fine. I click on the 'Go' button and the page POSTs into itself. But with IE it will POST into the search.php page which is what I don't want.

 

Am i doing something wrong? Or is IE truely retarded? I find Firefox to be more forgiving when there are little issues with HTML etc.

The posted code was tested in IE6 on WinXP and worked fine. I am not currently at a computer where I can test IE7.

 

What Version of IE is giving you the issue?

IE 6.

 

Unless I have some weird tag issues happening. (perhaps not a closed tag somewhere?)

 

I am thinking it could be a tag issue because Firefox seems to understand what you're trying to do if things aren't perfect, where as IE freaks out and dies. lol

 

Both forms in the page have opening and closing <form></form> tags.

I found what it was. There was a residual </td> tag sitting next to one of the <input /> tags. I removed it and now IE is smart  enough to submit to the proper page.

 

Thanks!
