DropDownList SelectedIndexCh anged not firing for extra <form>

I'm using .NET framework 1.1 and VS.NET 2003 for a aspx web form.

There is a DropDwonList on the page and its SelectedIndexCh anged event is
fired to the server normally, until when I add another form "FormDummy" onto
the main form, and then the event no longer fires again when the user change
the value of the drop down list.

Can anybody help ? Thanks so much!

The aspx code is as follows:
(Every thing works fine is the form "FormDummy" is abscent !)

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup ="false" Codebehind="Web Form1.aspx.vb"
Inherits="HKG.W ebForm1"%>

George,
An ASP.NET WebForm page can have only one server-side Form tag.
And if you want to catch server-side event(s) for a web control, then
place it within the one server-side Form tag.

Yes there is only one server side form <Form1> on the page, and <FormDummy>
and <Form2> are just client side form tags without runat="server" attribute.
The behavior is that the drop down list under <Form2> (which is under
<Form1>) fires the SelectedIndexCh angedEvent, but it does not fire when I add
<FormDummy> under <Form1>. <FormDummy> is in the same level as <Form2> and
just has nothing to do with the drop down list.

Many thanks.

Best Regards,
George

So what I mean is the event is still not fired if i have a dummy form
besides the form hosting my webcontrol.
Any ideas? Thx.

Nested forms aren't valid HTML anyway. Whatever you're trying to do, you're
going about it wrong.

I've searched and searched and have not found a solution to suppress the margin on form or href tags so that there is no space before or after the tag. The only way I have found to do this is to place the tags one after another without any spaces between them. For example, a space gets rendered between these two href's when displayed in firefox or IE. <a href="#"><img border="0" height="10" src="test.gif" width="10" /></a>

This is a minor thing and only appears in IE (so far), but I'd like to know to correct it (if possible). Whenever I use a form on a webpage, Explorer always leaves a blank line following the </form> tag but Mozilla doesn't. Is there a way to supress the blank line? Thanks Rob www.rcp.ca
