I need to have the POST action be to an absolute URL (e.g., http://www.cnn.com). Is there a way to use Html.BeginForm() helper and pass it the url?

"BeginForm()" is an extension method that writes an opening "<form>" tag to the response. "BeginForm()" is an extension method for both HtmlHelper and AjaxHelper classes.
Html. BeginForm() will create a form on the page that submits its values to the server as a synchronous HTTP request, refreshing the entire page in the process. Ajax. BeginForm() creates a form that submits its values using an asynchronous ajax request.
Html. BeginForm is the Html Helper Extension Method that is used for creating and rendering the form in HTML. This method makes your job easier in creating form. Here, is the method to create a form using Html.
Thanks for your help ! Multiple form tags should work fine in MVC unless they are nested.
BeginForm method has several overloads. In order to set the action attribute on the form tag with the desired url, you need to use following overload of BeginForm:
BeginForm(String, String, FormMethod, IDictionary<String, Object>) // here are the parameter names: BeginForm(actionName, controllerName, method, htmlAttributes) Since you want to post to an external site, there is no need to set actionName and controllerName, just leave them as null.
@Html.BeginForm( null, null, FormMethod.Post, new {@action="http://cnn.com/post"} ) This will not encode the action parameter.
