I'm am using ASP.NET MVC to create a page that posts to the Paypal sandbox. My form that posts to the Paypal site is nested inside a parent form. I am using Internet Explorer 7, and for some reason, the nested form posts to my local machine instead of the paypal site. If I add a copy of the same nested form directly after the first, the first one posts to localhost, and the second posts to where it is expected.

<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="" id="aspnetForm">
<!--First form posts locally-->
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Pay"/>
</form>
<!--Second identical form posts to the expected destination-->
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="Pay"/>
</form>
</form>

Every form must be enclosed within a FORM element. There can be several forms in a single document, but the FORM element can't be nested.
You are not allowed to nest form elements. If the forms were separate (not nested) you can submit a different form using the form attribute on an input.
Using nested forms, we can create an array of objects within a single field and we can have an array of these fields. Hence, the nested form helps us manage large form groups and divides it into small groups. For example: A company decides to issue a form to collect data from users.
No, nested forms are forbidden. This means A FORM has a mandatory start tag, mandatory end tag and can contain anything in %block or SCRIPT, except other FORMs.
Nested forms are not vaild, and therefore their behavior is undefined. You just cannot nest them. Only one form can submit at a time, though you can have multiple, unnested forms on a page (only the one of the corresponding submit button will be submitted, though).

Looks like I used the ASP.NET master page template instead of the ASP.NET MVC one. The ASP.NET template includes a form tag which is what created this nested form page. Using the ASP.NET MVC template fixed my problem by removing the nested forms altogether.
