What's wrong with using the "form" attribute to point to multiple forms?
One
submits to one place, the other submits to another place.
whoops, sent my last reply from the wrong from address, mod might ignore
it but i've read the spec. if i want all the data in my basket to
associate with my multiple forms i have to specify, for each and every
one (unless there's some default=all forms possibility as opposed to
default=none) the form thus
<input type="hidden" id="prod_00_name" value="pie" form="saveform
quoteform totalform">
<input type="hidden" id="prod_00_ea" value="1.99" form="saveform
quoteform totalform">
<input type="hidden" id="prod_00_qty" value="4" form="saveform quoteform
totalform">
<input type="hidden" id="prod_01_name" value="beer" form="saveform
quoteform totalform">
[several dozen other elements along the lines of the above]
<input type="submit" value="PLACE ORDER" form="saveform">
<input type="submit" value="SAVE QUOTE" form="quoteform">
<input type="submit" value="RECALCULATE TOTALS" form="totalform">
now obviously this is an extreme example; i could just associate all
three forms with a fieldset and house my cart/basket within that. but
the fieldset is a block element and it may well end up presenting a
similar problem that moving the form definition to the head was meant to
solve. (though in my first example i did use a block-level form).
