Chad Hammond 1 Is there a way I can work around having a nested apex:form?
Firstly let me start out by saying that I am very new to salesforce. I am learning it as I go and only have about 2 weeks of experience so far. The issue that I have is with adding a signature field to a VF page. The page is essentially one large apex:form, and I am trying to use an app called EZSign to add the signature. The issue I am running into is that the app apparently uses an apex:form as well, since I get a "nested apex:form" error when I add the tag to call/display the signature field. I have it setup now so that once the main form has been filled out and the save button is clicked it is redirected to a seperate page that lets you sign, and saves to the original custom object. It works, but it's not pretty. Is there any way to reference and/or display the signature via a component or other feature I am unaware of? The code below is a very simple mockup of what I need to work.
<apex:page>
<apex:form>
<html>
<body>
<signature> // this references a component that contains an apex:form, and to my knowledge the code for it cannot be edited directly
</body>
</html>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
<apex:page>
<apex:form>
<html>
<body>
<signature> // this references a component that contains an apex:form, and to my knowledge the code for it cannot be edited directly
</body>
</html>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
to give you the disappointing simple answer: no
VF do not like nested apex:form tags because it is not HTML conform. And the EZSign component do not have an attribute to embed it into a given form.
Best you stick with your 2 page solution ... if you design it as a wizard with two pages that might be the best user experience.
Best,
