Well - I am combining the ASP and JQuery. In ASP usually the whole page is inside a <form>, and you can not have nested forms.
On other hand - why would you like to allow it only in the <form>? Since you can do the 'post' action on AJAX there is absolutely no need to have the <form> tag (you do not preform the 'submit' action). Do you guys know any other Javascript validation library that could do the trick? Best regards, Jozef A.
