Nested forms are not supported by IE and Netscape. I know that you will not be
able to post the values of a child form when the parent is submitted. Depending
on the browser's implementation of the HTML standards you should get fairly
wacky effects...
I suggest that you make one form with different values assigned to the various
action buttons and then use the action object to read the button's value and
then determine how to respond to the request.
Hope this helps.
