I have a child page (using masterpages) where I want to include a regular (basic html form). When I look in the source of the page the tags are stripped out. I know I can only have one , but does this include regular html forms, and if so, would it automatically strip them out?
Check the answer of Steven Cheng in this thread

Basically it seems that HTML itself does not support nesting of forms, that is what should be causing the problem, as your other forms are inside the form of Master Page. So you can try either cross-page posting as mentioned in the above thread or try the solutions mention here
Using embedded standard HTML forms with ASP.NET
from W3.org
There can be several forms in a single document, but the FORM element can’t be nested.
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/forms.html
Also when i checked the scenario with master page, the nested form tag is there but it does not work, if i put the action of the nested form to other page, and try to post the nested form, it posts to the page specified by the outer form (which is in master page).
