Two form actions

[Alex Vinokur]

Here is some HTML code.

----------------------------------
<form action="/tmp/xxx">
email-1: <input type=text name=email>
<input type=submit name="sub" value="Subscribe-1">
<form action="/tmp/yyy">
<BR>
email-2: <input type=text name=email>
<input type=submit name="sub" value="Subscribe-2">
</form>
</form>
----------------------------------

If email-1 is subscribed then action "/tmp/xxx" is invoked. It is OK.
But if email-2 is subscribed then action "/tmp/xxx" is invoked too. Why?

I would like action "/tmp/yyy" to be invoked if email-2 is subscribed.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Here is some HTML code.

It's invalid. Forms must not be nested, by HTML syntax.

I would like action "/tmp/yyy" to be invoked if email-2 is subscribed.

I have no idea of what you mean by email-2 being subscribed. Maybe that the
input field is not empty? Anyway, the proper way is to use an action
attribute that refers to a server-side script that can handle any data in
the desired way - such as send data to two addresses.

My problem resolved.
