Asp.net does not allow you to have multiple html FORM tags on the same page. There are exceptions, but they do not help you in DotNetNuke. As far as DotNetNuke is concerned, you cannot use the html FORM tag. The reason for this is Asp.net uses the FORM tag with the runat="server" attribute. DotNetNuke automatically includes the opening and closing FORM tags. If you insert your own FORM tags inside a page, your FORM tags will be nested inside the Asp.net DotNetNuke FORM tags, which does not work and will cause problems.

There are ways to include multiple forms without using the FORM tag. See Multiple Forms on a Asp.net Page and Redirecting Submit to Another Page.

For DotNetNuke, without buying or writing your own module, you can either use an IFRAME or use client side redirection.
