I don't think you can. I tried the following:

<html>
<head>
<title>submit2.htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submit2() {
document.form1.submit();
alert(1);
document.form2.submit();
alert(2);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="submit2.htm" method="get" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="text1" value="1">
</form>
<hr>
<form action="submit2.htm" method="get" name="form2">
<input type="text" name="text2" value="2">
</form>
<hr>
<input type="button" value="Submit Forms" onclick="submit2()">
</body>
</html>

Well probably only if the target is set differently or to a new window e.g.
for (var i = 0; i < document.forms.length; i++) {
document.forms.target = '_blank';
document.forms.submit();
}
If you have forms with no target set then obviously submitting one means
unloading the current page and then there are not further forms to submit.

Which will result in a plethora of new windows popping up.

Why not just cause the server side form handler to return, say, a 204, there
is no new information to send back? That way the existing page will remain.

Can you give us an example please?

You are probably better off asking over in the server side groups. alt.php,
comp.lang.php, or whatever flavour of server side stuff you use.

Here is a minimal PHP example:

In your "page"

<form action="updatedatabase.php" ...>
....

In updatadatabase.php:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 204 No Response"); // terminates this HTTP request
// do stuff with the data sent up by the form
// do not output any "content" for this request. That is, no html.
// the sole purpose of this "page" is to update a database or something.
?>

Google for: php 404 header
