Multiple forms on a page???

[Robert]

Here's my delimma: I am required to have a login area on each screen
of my web site if the user is not logged in. It has userid and
password fields and an image button that acts as a submit button. I
created this login function as a user-control so it could be placed on
various pages. The problem arises when the user goes to a page that
already has a form on it, like the "Feedback" page. The page craps
out complaining that I can have only one <form> tag per page. So, I
removed the <form> tag from my user control thinking the other <form>
tag on the page will take its place. But when the user ends up on a
page that doesn't have a form, then the page craps out saying
something like "blah blah blah...must be placed inside a form tag with
runat=server."

Is there a way around this? Has anybody done something similar, and
if so, what was your approach?

Thanks in advance...
Robert

Exactly that "blah blah blah" part is important. Anyway. If you add web
forms using VS than each page has its own form tag WITH runat=server inside.
User controls on the contrary don't have the form tag. MUST NOT have a form
tag. There is only one form tag permitted per page. And it MUST be
runat=server. And it must be within the ASPX file...
