submitting multiple forms with single button

Hi

I need to submit 3 forms on one page with one submit button. I need to use the get method to pass values acoss to the next page. Is this possible & how is it done?

Thanks

Can't be done. Put everything into 1 form.

No it is not possible.

Only one form can be submitted per page.

You can make it look like 3 forms on the page to the viewer, but in the code it needs to be only 1 form. The submit button will submit the form that it is contained in.


Hope that helps.

Ok

maybe you can help with the problem

Ive got a form and the first two field are drop-down menus where the second menus
values change according to what was selected in the first menu. The only script I
could find to do this is one where the two drop-down menus are put into their own
form tags because of the way the javascript is written. That is why I needed to
submit 3 forms with one button, the two forms for the drop-down menus and the main
form. You can see this at http://www.izzyglanville.co.uk/join_now_2.php

Do you know of a similar script that doesn't put the drop-down menus into form tags?

or

Can you tell me how to edit the javascript to take the drop-down menus out of the
form tags??

Heres the script;
