submit multiple forms to same page

Question

I have three forms on a page. They each have multiple inputs including files. I would like so that when I submit the last form, the inputs for all three forms are sent to

Answer 1

I used below code to submit two forms' data in my website.

The idea is that you get the multiple forms data using serialize and combine that data and equalize that to data parameter of the $.ajax function.

.

// submits two forms simultaneously
function submit_forms(form1_id, form2_id)
{
    var frm1_name = $("#" + form1_id).attr('name');
    var frm2_name = $("#" + form2_id).attr('name');

    if (frm1_name == frm2_name)
    {
        alert('The two forms can not have the same name !!');
    }
    else
    {
        var frm1_data = $("#" + form1_id).serialize();
        var frm2_data = $("#" + form2_id).serialize();

        if (frm1_data && frm2_data)
        {
            $("#div_busy").html('Processing...
');
            $("#busy").fadeIn('slow');

            $.ajax(
            {
                   type: "POST",
                   url: "process_sticker_request.php",
                   data: frm1_data + "&" + frm2_data,
                   cache: false,

                   error: function()
                   {
                        $("#busy").hide('slow');
                        $("#div_busy").css({'color':'#ff0000', 'font-weight':'bold'});
                        $("#div_busy").html('Request Error!!');
                   },
                   success: function(response)
                   {
                        $("#div_busy").hide('slow');
                        $("#hdnFormsData").html(response);

                            // open popup now with retrieved data
                            window.open('', 'popup2', 'toolbars = 1, resizable=1, scrollbars=1, menubar=1');
                            document.getElementById("prt").action = 'win_sticker.php';
                            document.getElementById("prt").target = 'popup2';
                            document.getElementById("prt").submit();

                            // reset the action of the form
                            document.getElementById("prt").action = 'list_preview.php';

                   }
             });                
        }
        else
        {
            alert('Could not submit the forms !!');
        }
    }
}
