I don’t know if this constitutes a usecase, but here’s my scenario..
I have a form which is on a panel, that moves.
This form contains a list of items which has an active and index per item.
When you click on a list item a new form appears where you can edit the details
of the item.
You could position the sub-form absolutely, but the moving panel means that
you’d have to keep a track on it and move the sub-form appropriately. It’s much
easier to append the form to the list item and let the browser take care of
positioning.
Also, I did try absolutely positioning the form and there were pixel
differences in the three browsers I tried.
The real trouble is that using the jquery.validation.form() method throws an
error
See attached, in IE
1. click submit first, no problem
2. choose an item, to move the details form to the list form, boom

I’m sure this will come up again, and it’s an eenie weenie fixeteenie

in ie
I haven't yet seen a usecase where nested forms where actually required. Ajax
uploads can be done by moving the file input field into a sibling form and
uploading the file from there. So currently I see no reason to "fix" this in
the validation plugin. If you still think it should be covered, please create a
ticket: http://dev.jquery.com/newticket

Your right, it comes about when you have a structure where
you want to provide a sub form for details of items in a list
which is in a form or using something like ocupload, where
a subform is put in place of an input[type=file].
But the point is really that the current jquery property used
ie form.elements, yields a different result in different browsers

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's not valid code.
You shouldn't have a form within a form...

I have a problem whereby the validate function picks up :inputs in a sub form,
but only in IE
<form>
<input name=one />
<input name=two />
<form>
<input name=three />
<input name=four />
</form>
</form>
In ie
form.elements.length == 4
In others
form.elements.length == 2
to get round it you could remove elements matching "form :input"
line 413 in jquery.validate.js
return $(this.currentForm)
.find(":input")
.not($(this.currentForm).find("form :input"))
.not(":submit, :reset, :image, [disabled]")
.not(this.settings.ignore)
.filter(function() {
…
});
The same thing also happens in serializeArray, so extra fields are sent on form
submits
Has anybody else come across this?
