You might find it better to approach this differently.
When the server receives the uploaded file, it can contact the
administrator. I imagine that as your second form was going to be submitted
to a servlet or jsp, you could just handle both tasks in one single servlet
(this might be more reliable too).
Otherwise, if you prefer to send two forms, it may be better to send them
from different frames (to avoid "race" conditions in which the result comes
back to the browser for the first form -- unlikely, but maybe possible --
before the second one has been submitted). You could also add a TARGET
attribute to each form, specifying a different target frame or window. In
either case though, I suspect this would be somewhat "messy" as a solution.
As far as "how to" goes, within JavaScript, you can submit a form using
document.forms["formname"].submit() ; this becomes more complicated (but not
impossible) if you invoke a form's "submit" method from a different frame.
Nevertheless, I still recommend handling it all with one form and one
servlet.
