Inputs with form attribute in server connect form

I’d like to use the form attribute on an input which will be outside of the actual form tag. Is this supported in a server connect form?

Yes you can do that. When setting the form attribute of an input - it becomes automatically part of the form, even if it is outside.

So submitting the form will pick it up automatically.

Any problems implementing that?

Okay, good to know it should work. I reverted to a traditional structure, but here are the errors noted in the apache log when I would submit a form using the form attribute on outside inputs:

mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 41 seconds
End of script output before headers: app_refresh.php

The form also included a file input, which was actually within the form itself. I no longer have the entire html, but I was attempting to do a form per row setup, using css instead of table tags. I often need to do save on change forms with a list of rows, and tables just don’t play nice with forms so looking for new solutions like css grids, etc.

Well actually the form is submitted exactly the same, no matter if the fields are outside, referee with the form, or inside.

So the Apache errors are something else

Okay, will try again when I have more time. Thanks!
