Not a nested form, but a form within a form??

Thank you, everyone, for your input.

There isn't (at least, not intended) going to be synchronization between the two forms.  The second form is just for uploading documents that are related to a particular entity of which the original form will contain information, but submitting one form does not require submission of the other; they will be two separate processes, using separate queries for both retrieving data and submitting updates/inserts/deletes to the database.

Based upon everyone's feedback, I'm inclined to believe that a hidden div outside the original form is the best course of action, for this.

Thanks,

^_^

Yes, you can place a separate form within an iframe. However, as Ian points out, the problem you'll have is a UX problem - how will you synchronize the submission of data between the two forms? I'm sure you can get where you want to get, but you'll definitely need to spend a bit more time testing this part.

If it clearly is a second form, make it come either before or after the first one.

A beleive all those options are technically viable.

I think your biggest question is how to incorperate this into an user interface that works for the user.  I.E. How to present this "internal" form is such a way that users clearly understand that it is a sepereate and distinct form and that submitting data with this form does not submit data with the other form and vice a versa.
