    Hi,
    My basic problem is that I have 2 forms in a single page, what is happening when I hit submit in one form, the other form also get trigger. So the data are posting in wired format, mixing all the things.

    If there is any way out, so that I can use 2 forms.

    Thank you

      Hi Pronab!

      Multiple forms with FormIt should work. Make sure your two forms and their fields come along with unique ids.

        Use the &submitVar property to differentiate between the forms.

                From the docs:
                If you have multiple forms on a page, set the &submitVar property on your Snippet call to a name of a form element within the form (ie, &submitVar=`form1-submit`). This tells FormIt to only process form requests with that POST variable.

                So I guess this should work:
                <!-- your snippet calls -->
[[FormIt? ... &submitVar=`myform1`]]
[[FormIt? ... &submitVar=`myform2`]]

<!-- html myform1 -->
<form ...>
   ...
   <input type="submit" value="send it" name="myform1">
</form>

<!-- html myform2 -->
<form ...>
   ...
   <input type="submit" value="send it" name="myform2">
</form>

                    Thanks all of you for your help.

                    Now I have another question. In my form I have four option like windows, linux, macos and novatel. Based on this option the user will get a auto response email. I mean for windows one type of auto response email, for linux another type of auto response email. So how I can do that. I have came cross the FormItAutoResponder hook but not able to work.

                    Please help.

                    Thank you

                      install getReqParam or something like that

                      name your fiarTpls fiarTplwindows,fiarTpllinux .........
                      and try it with this formit-property, if your radio-input-name is os:

                      &fiarTpl = `fiarTpl[[!getReqparam? &type=`REQUEST` &name=`os`]]`
