Multiple Submits on Same View

I am trying to have more than one search box on the same view. If I put only one of the searches on the page, it works fine. If I have more than one, the only one that works is the first one. Here is the code from my view:

<h1>Search By Tag #</h1> <%= form_tag :action => 'find_tag_num' %> <%= text_field_tag :tag_num %> <%= submit_tag 'Submit' %>

<h1>Search By Description</h1> <%= form_tag :action => 'find_descrip' %> <%= text_field_tag :descrip %> <%= submit_tag 'Submit' %>

When I do a mouse-over on the first submit button in my view, it shows "find_tag_num" and it also says "find_tag_num" when I mouse-over the second submit button.

I think I need something between the two in this example to allow them both to work from the same view?

thanks

You're not closing your <form> tags, so you end up with nested forms, which isn't allowed (if you use the block form of form_tag it will close tags for you)
