If the forms are in different HTML "form" elements that should not be
happening. The submit process only submits the current form element.

If both forms are posting to the same Django view, you will need a way
to tell them apart before constructing the form instances. Perhaps a
hidden form field that you can check.
Alternatively, the forms can submit to different URLs. They could be
entirely different URLS ("location1/" and "location2/") or you could
differentiate by using a query parameter ("location1?form=1" and
"location1?form=2").
Which version is appropriate depends on the information flow through
your site and the URL structure. I'd probably go with the first option,
as a first cut, though. A little hidden field containing the form number
that you can test:
form_type = request.POST["form_type"]
if form_type == "1":
# Process the first form
elif form_type == "2":
# Process the second form
else:
# Somebody's messing with the form. Fail!

As a debugging hint: first get it working without Javascript -- using
plain old, ordinary submit buttons. Then, if problems occur when you
introduce the Javascript you'll know that it's only because of the
Javascript, not due to anything else.
