XHTML 1.0 does allow you to create multiple forms in a single XHTML document. Most browsers will display and handle multiple forms properly. If click a submit button in one form, browsers will submit input data only for that one form. Input data from other forms will be ignored.
Here is a tutorial example of two forms on one Web page:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Multiple Forms</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Online Survey</h4>
<form action="http://localhost/submit" method="get">
<p style="background-color: #eeeeee; padding: 8px;">
Your name: <input type="text" name="name"
value="Joe"/><br/>
Your age: <input type="text" name="name"
value="18+"/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="upper"
value="Upper submit"/>
</p>
</form>
<form action="http://localhost/submit" method="get">
<p style="background-color: #ffeeee; padding: 8px;">
How did you find FYIcenter:<br/>
<input type="radio" name="channel"
value="google" checked="checked"/>Google search<br/>
<input type="radio" name="channel"
value="yahoo"/>Yahoo search<br/>
<input type="radio" name="channel"
value="friend"/>Your friend<br/>
<input type="submit" name="lower"
value="Lower submit"/>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as multiple_forms.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see two forms on the page. Go enter some data
and submit one of the forms to see what will happen:
