Re: Submit several forms with a button

So let's think about this. Is your client just worried about how the
form looks (3 buttons and 1 submit all button)? Technically, if there
is no reason to have 3 separate forms, don't create 3 separate forms,
unless the client requirement is calling the programming shots too.
It's possible you could have one form but still have 4 different
buttons, achieving the same effect. Any of the buttons do the same
thing... submit all the data to the server... and then you can do
whatever you want with it... whether it be only using part of it or
all of it.

Then your satisfying the client requirement for the look of the form.
If that's what they're really worried about.
