Hi guys, it’s me again 
is it possible to put forms into forms? My problem is, i have a form
which gathers informations about an SSL Certificate order. There is a
field which holds the SSL CSR file. Now i wanted to put in a subform
which has an form_remote_tag and decodes that CSR file and returns if
everything was okay or not.
Now if i put in a submit_tag it submits my form which holds the ssl cert
order instead of the subform which should only check for the correctness
of the CSR 
I mean in PHP i’d assign the form a ‘name’ or ‘id’ and then do
javascript: document.getElementByID(‘subform’).submit() but that won’t
work in rails since i can’t assign a name or id to a form 
Any ideas for this? Thanks in advance
There’s no reason to nest the forms. Make them seperate and you should
have no problems.
If that won’t work, don’t use form_remote_tag. You’d have to make your
own semi-form using Prototype that “submits” the file field when you
click a button. Overall, it’d wouldn’t be pretty.

Instead use submit_to_remote and its :submit option, because this does
not create an HTML form.

Well this is quite the solution i appreciate
Mark, so it is not possible to do this like an subform (with multiple
fields)? it’s just possible with single fields?
Thanks to all.
Html forms may not be nested.
If you’re using form_tag, it’s second arg is a hash of attributes to add
to the form tag.
So, you can give it a name or an id attribute just fine (though the name
attribute is
deprecated in xhtml).
