Re: Ref: Embed a form within a form

I asked a question about embedding a form within a form, which I realised after was out of the bounds of PHP. I also asked if PHP could help me open a form in another window. ... Sometimes PHP can do magic things, but not that. However, for anyone wondering, it is possible to do both. This is what I have come up with using jquery: I didn't need to create an extra parent DIV and name it id="place_here". Naming a table cell id="place_here" and making it the parent to DIV id="div_2" was enough. This is a brilliant little work around. Works in Firefox and IE.

A div in a table cell?  What does that buy you over a the id on the input element?
