Hi, I'm facing a problem with having multiple forms that submit to the same action on the same page.
I have a search page with a few search fields. The user does the search and gets the paged results in the *SAME* page. Now, the user can either change the search criteria and search again, or use the pagination links to go back and forward through the search results. As a result, I have to have two forms (or at least that's the solution I thought of). The first is the seach form and the seconds is the pagination form. The pagination form has hidden fields containing the values the user searched for the last time. I need to do this because if the user changes the search criteria, I can not afford to have the pagination links retrieve different results. The problem is, since both forms will submit to the same action, they both get the same name, and so, I get colliding names in the HTML. Anyone knows a work around for this issue? One solution I thought of would be to use only one form and if the user clicks on the pagination links, I call reset() on the HTML form to get it back to its original state. I'm reluctant to do this, though, because if the search takes some time, this action will be visible to the user and it might look awkward. Every help is appreciated.
