If a <form> is generated dynamically in innerhtml it will submit to an existing <form>. Much easier to show with a sample :)
<html>
<script>
function generate_form() {
doc=document.getElementById('someajax');
doc.innerHTML='<form action="/bar"><input type=submit value="should submit to /bar"></form>';
}
</script>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="generate_form()">Generate a form</a>
<form id="1" action="/foo"><p>
<input type=submit value='should submit to /foo'>
</form>
<div id="someajax">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load up the html code in details
2. click the link 'generate a form'
3. click the submit button 'should submit to bar'
4. Notice where the submit goes too, it will go to the foo action.
Expected Results:
On submit it should go to /bar

The problem is that the <p> makes the </form> get ignored, so that the <div> is inside the existing form. And then you're trying to put the new <form> inside the existing <form>, which is not allowed, so the new <form> tag is ignored.
