Re: form within form

Forms cannot be nested, there can be no form within form. Simply use 4 fields - username, oldpassw, newpassw, newpassw2 (must be equal newpassw), when the form is submited, check if username and oldpassw are valid, newpassw = newpassw2, and if everything is right, you can update to the new password Edward Peloke wrote:

I am creating a form to allow the user to change his/her password. After the user enters their username and old password, I need to verify that info before they can change their user name and password. So I tried using a form within a form but am having some problems with passing the parameters back and forth...any new ideas would be greatly appreciated. I will fill in all the db stuff later.
