Add one more input element of type="submit", say

Code:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"/>

ohh yes i already have one of those, forgot to copy that part of the code over!
Does the submit button go inside the form or outside? as i have 2 forms that both should submit together with 1 button?

Thanks

You need to add all the input elements inside your form. But you can't submit 2 forms simultaneously with one button. Why do you need two forms, if both of them are to be submitted to the same page? Can't you just combine them and group the related items by fieldset tag ? (see an example at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/p...ccessibleforms)

Hey, i have made it all into 1 form, but when i click submit, it freezes? :S plus when it does send it still doesnt display anything into the PHP, it just has my selections in the URL at the top of the page!

could you also explain how to use fieldset tag?

Also that link came up with a error, page doesnt exist or something!

Thanks
