Nesting forms or a way around it?

I'm not really a web developer so I might be missing some potential problems here, but from what I understand, there are many possible ways around the problem: a) Use one form around everything, but have the various Submit buttons rewrite the form's "action" attribute to redirect the form to different actions or even controllers. Each controller/action then decides, what data from the form is relevant to that particular action and ignores the rest b) Use one form, but have the various Submit buttons set some parameters in a hidden field that your controller can see and decide what the intended action was c) Use multiple forms, but make them not nested in html. You could use some css positioning (and/or javascript if necessary) to make them visually appear in the right places

Yes.

Another way is to dispose of either the outer form or inner set of forms and instead submit that data using submit_to_remote and its :submit parameter.
