Only one server-side Form tag

[blitzkrieg bop]

I thought I was doing fine converting my old ASP pages to .NET but now I have ran into a problem and need guidance!

 

I have a UserControl (called header.ascx) with a Web Form tag in it (<form id="frmSearch" runat="server">). Now one of my aspx page which shows the user control also has a form tag in it. I would like to use a server-side form tag there also but when I compile I get the error that there can only be one server-side form tag. This stinks!! What is the best thing for me to do here? Do I need to re-do my header.ascx file?

 

Thanks

Remove the form tags from the ascx file, you will still be able to get the server side events posted back.

I get the following error in my header.ascx.vb file when I remove it:

 

frmSearch.Attributes.Add("onsubmit", "return chkSearch(this)")

 

I probably shouldn't try to add the onsubmit to the form right? This is a javascript for validation I run after the user click the search button:

 

<input type="image" src="/_images/header_go.gif" alt="Search">

 

 

Thanks
