Hi I posted a question earlier, this is the updated version based on further understanding.
in order fir Jquery to recognise the events of the second form I had to nest the code this this: $('form').submit(function(event){ //$('#content').empty(); $.post('../../forms.php',$ (this).find('input').serialize(),function(formA) { $('#content').empty().append(formA); $('form').submit(function(){ $.post('../../forms.php',$ (this).find('input').serialize(),function(formB) { $('#content').empty().append(formB); }); return false; }); }); return false; }); There must be a better way. thanks in advance slh
