Hi Jake,
You can still use the FormHelper to code the forms and use the same
action, here is an example:
<div id="tab1">
$Form.FormTag("%{id='form1', action='Prestage',
useCurrentRouteParams='true'}")
<fieldset>
<div>$Form.LabelFor("filePrestageData.File", 'File <em>*</em>')
$Form.TextField("filePrestageData.File", "%{id='myId1'}")</div>
<div class="buttonrow">$Form.Submit("Save", "%{class='button'}")</
div>
</fieldset>
$Form.EndFormTag()
</div>
<div id="tab2">
$Form.FormTag("%{id='form2', action='Prestage',
useCurrentRouteParams='true'}")
<fieldset>
<div>$Form.LabelFor("filePrestageData.File", 'File <em>*</em>')
$Form.TextField("filePrestageData.File", "%{id='myId2'}")</div>
<div class="buttonrow">$Form.Submit("Save", "%{class='button'}")</
div>
</fieldset>
$Form.EndFormTag()
</div>
<div id="tab3">
$Form.FormTag("%{id='form3', action='Prestage',
useCurrentRouteParams='true'}")
<fieldset>
<div>$Form.LabelFor("filePrestageData.File", 'File <em>*</em>')
$Form.TextField("filePrestageData.File", "%{id='myId3'}")</div>
<div class="buttonrow">$Form.Submit("Save", "%{class='button'}")</
div>
</fieldset>
$Form.EndFormTag()
</div>
As you can see in the example above, I'm telling the FormHelper what
id to use for the 'FORM' and 'INPUT' html elements.
Does this help?
Cheers
John
