multiple forms on one page

[Pint]

I have a simple web user control. I'd like for this form to appear twice
on a single aspx page. How do I get around the problem of having more
than one <form runat=server> tag?

More background: the user control is a login box. For design reasons I
want the box to be available in the header as well as the bottom of the
page.

Thanks,
Pint

Don't define the form in your usercontrol; I assume that's what you're
doing. Usually you leave form definition to the page itself, for this
reason.

Thanks for your reply, but this did not address my question.

I understand that using a single form works. What I am trying to learn
is if anyone knows a way to allow for two or more forms on a single aspx
page. One use of this would be to allow a login form on every page, even
pages that have an entirely different form on them.
It would be nice to put the implementation of the login form in a user
control so that it could easily be incorporated into every page. Your
solution does not allow for this abstraction.

Hi,

You can have multiple runat=server forms in one aspx provided only one is
visible at a time, which thus is not useful for your problem.

I am still confused as to why you require to have form tags in your user
control. You could have the whole login logic in the user control and put
multiple instances of the user control in the same web form, right?
