Title: Form within a form is inactive for data entry
Post by: markster on April 12, 2013, 09:16:11 AM

I have noticed this problem before but it wasn't an issue as I wasn't using it. The issue is that if you have a from embedded within another form, the data entry fields on the embedded form do not function. For example, I have a "master" form that has a filter field for a browse as well as the browse as a proc:

ParentForm
  Tab
     FilterField (radio)
     BrowseSomething

No problem, everything is fine. Making a change to the FilterField updates the browse. Now I'm trying to move the filter field to a separate form called by the ParentForm:

ParentForm
  Tab
     FilterForm (now populated with FilterField)
     BrowseSomething

Everything displays properly but if you click on a FilterField radio choice, nothing happens. The Value::FilterField routine is not activated within the FilterForm procedure.

This is simply not allowed. HTML does not allow for nested <form> tags.
Sorry.
