Nested forms

Hi

I am trying to add a form into a panel of my DotNetNuke website. (http://www.hotel-victoria.co.uk/Default.aspx)The trouble is, when I load it, I end up with a form within a form. Of course it doesn't work. The 'containing' form is the 'login' for DotNetNuke. When the button is pressed on my form, it obeys the action specified for the 'containing' form.

Is there a way round this?

Re: Nested forms

Re: Nested forms

Thanks leupold. So, where does it expect to find my src file for the iframe module. My default.aspx file is in a folder called 'berties', and can I put <form></form> in it?

Re: Nested forms

you can either specify an external URL or place the files inside the portals/<portalID> folder and point to it.

Re: Nested forms

Hi again

Well I put my src in portals/_default, but the iframe module on my webpage doesn't show it. I viewed the source, and it is looking for https://form.html. Of course, that is not the correct url, but the Edit Iframe box will not let me put in a full url. I can put 'form.html', but if I add a / or anything else, I get 'You Must Enter a Valid URL'.

Incidentally, I have navigated to my src on its own & it works.
