Just don't put server-side form tag in your individual page, and then have your form tag at master page covering the content tag.

When you page renders, everything should fall within the form tags and you should be fine.

if any of your page need to post to another page, you can always use RegisterStartupScript() to emit javascript that set the form to different target.

When you use Master Page, it implements a form tag and inside that there is a ContentPlaceHolder which loads the Child Page.

So, no need to have another form tag specified for that Child Page. Of you look at the source of page after it is rendered in browser, you will get cleared about this concept.

You can see a simple HTML page with all the controls inside it, there is nothing Master or Child.
So, don't confuse yourself.

Keep coding. :)
