<tr> <td>....</td> </tr> 
<!--some elements like this in outer form -->

<table border="1">

<form name="inner1" method="POST" action="inner1.cgi">
<input type="hidden" name="idx" value="8"><input type="hidden" name="new" value="1">
</form>

</table>

</form>

Not working code

<form action=outer.cgi method=post name=outer>
<tr> <td>....</td> </tr> 
<!--some elements like this in outer form -->

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <td> Parameter </td>
    <td> Description </td>
    <td> Value </td>
  </tr>

<form name="inner1" method="POST" action="inner1.cgi">
<tr>
  <td>Machine Name</td>

  <td><input type="text" name="args1" value=""></td>
</tr>
<input type="hidden" name="idx" value="8"><input type="hidden" name="new" value="1">
</form>

<!-- I want this code to work. Dont want another same name form here -->

<script>
       document.inner1.submit();
</script>
</table>

my XSL file is producing this HTML code depending on my XML file.
meas in prototypical view,

<form name=outer1>
  <form name=form1></form>
  <form name=form2></form>
   <script>
        document.form2.submit();
   </script>
<form>
<!-- Then form2 submits.but if I remove form1 line,then form2 doesn't submit. -->
<!-- I dont want form1 there in picture..Cannot I submit form2 without any form in between 'outer1' and 'form2' is my question -->
