True, it only fixes half the problem. > IMO the users who have such a page should simply but both the input > form an the online help form into a single form. That's more a problem > if they use includes for the online help section and have a form in > this include. But why not having a single form for the entire page? In general, users should use a single form for the entire page. The biggest problem that results is that there's no way to have separate validation blocks within a page. ADF Faces has a subform component that adds that capability within a single form. Many users are, unfortunately, stuck in an old HTML mindset and are unwilling to use single forms for the entire page. -- Adam
