Mike,
I would recommend using a framework like Struts. It will help you alot.

I don't quite understand why you can't have one big form submitted to one
servlet? It(servlet) could then selectively process it (form).
Alternatively, you could have javascript create external windows with a form
each, submit those and close the windows.
I would recommend the first approach, however I have tried the second one
and it works too.

Tried this. We are using Netscape 4.x and the unload event does not work
properly in frames.

This way lies madness. The web is not a VB App. :-)
Try having the second form submitted by an onload javascript function in
the
page returned by the first servlet call.
