I need to create my own form which will be submitted to an external site (a payment provider, very precise about the post request). I've written a module which outputs the html for my form, but this won't work as the page (and thus my module) is enclosed in the DNN form and nested forms aren't valid.

How can I work around this?

I've thought about writing
    "[/form][form name='myform' action='https://paymentprovider']....[input type='submit' value='Pay'][/form][form name='dnnform_part2']"
So '[/form]' in front of my own form to close the DNN form and open a dnnform_part2 at the end (I know that won't join the 2 dnn form parts, it's just to get valid html), but this is a very ugly hack.

 Is there a better way?

Roland,

every asp.net page is enclosed in a form. What you have to do is: forget the form tags, but add the approbriate properties (PostbackUrl=...) to the "send" control (any server side asp control like asp:Button, asp:LinkButton, asp:ImageButton or whatever).

Best wishes
Michael

Roland,
Create the form as a standalone HTML page and embed it into a page in your DNN site via an IFrame.
