You can't nest forms in html.

This is a very common problem when coding with webforms, especially when using master pages. As I said, you can't nest forms, there is no way around that so simply forget it as a solution. The best solution depends where the form needs to post to. If it posts back to the same page then this is possible to get working, if it has to post to a different site then you're going to have to use javascript or change how your forms are laid out so that they are not nested.

In asp.net webform We usually use postbackUrl property button to post to different page.
This looks like this

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" PostBackUrl="~/Contact.aspx" />

You can not use a nested form.
