Hi Alex,
Nice to see you again:).
Regarding on the <form> issue you mentioned, here are some of my
understanding and suggestion:
Html <form> element can be put in the body of html pages and html page does
support multiple <form> elements, however they can not be nested each
other, you can find the detailed description from the W3C html
specification:
#The FORM element
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/forms.html
And as for ASP.NET web form page, it is based on a single server-side form
element which contains all the controls inside it, so generally we do not
recommend that we put multiple <form> elements. However, this is still
supported in ASP.NET page(master page) and I think the problem in your
master page should be caused by the unsupported nested <form> element, and
multiple <form> in the same level should be ok. e.g:
=============== =========
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="MForm .master.cs"
Inherits="App_M asters_MForm" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title>Untitl ed Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:contentpla ceholder id="ContentPlac eHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:contentplac eholder>
</div>
</form>
<form id="form2" action="http://www.asp.net">
<input name="txtf2" type="text" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
=============== ===============
In addition, if what you want to do through multiple forms is just make our
page posting to multiple pages, I think you can consider using the new
feature for cross-page posting in ASP.NET 2.0. This can help us use button
controls to postback to different pages without having multpile forms on
the page:
#Cross-Page Posting in ASP.NET Web Pages

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if there is anything else we
can help.
