submit two forms with the same button

[miguel]

Hello
I would like to know if it is possible submit two html forms with only one button. I am working with JSF and the generated html code has two forms, I have one submit button out these forms and when I click this button I submit the two forms:
function onclick_myButton() {
form1.submit();
form2.submit();
}

but in the java bean of the server i only get one of the forms. why?

Because by the time the computer submits the second form, its already gone to the "action" page of first form. So the second line will not be executed.

Also, for W3C standards, use document.form1.submit(); and document.form2.submit();
