Re: forms usage in web pages

There's nothing wrong with multiple forms on a single page, as long as all id attributes in all elements are unique on the entire page, not just within the form. Just make sure that each form is self-contained with its own submit button and such. Only the form whose submit button is clicked will get submitted by the browser. Whether or not you want to use multiple forms for a given set of tasks or multiple submit buttons in a single form (which you can then test to see which was clicked) will depend on what it is you're doing. Both are perfectly legitimate ways of doing things, depending on what things you're doing.
