Multiple forms handling in IE7/8/10/11

If a jsp has multiple forms, like: <html:form><form:paginationForm></form><form:paginationForm></form><tbody>....INPUT DATA....></html:form>

CAN NOT WORK IN IE7/8, INSTEAD SUBMITTING INPUT DATA, IT SUBMITTING PAGINATION DATA. BUT IT WORKS FINE IN IE10.

if change the syntax to: <form action="#"><form:paginationForm></form><form:paginationForm></form><html:form><tbody>....INPUT DATA....></html:form></form>

IT STARTS WORKING FINE FOR ALL IEs. Can you explain it? give me the correct solutions.

The problem jsp code:

<html:form action="./selectPullback">
<xx:group>

<xx:pagination actionURL="./search" resultSet="${SearchPullback.paginatedResultSet}"><table >..<xx:paginationHeader /> </table></xx:pagination>

<xx:pagination actionURL="./search" resultSet="${SearchPullback.paginatedResultSet}">
 <table><tfoot><xx:paginationFooter /></tfoot>
 <tbody>....</tbody></table></xx:pagination></xx:group></html:form>

<div class="button"><ul><li><html:link href="#" onclick="return document.forms['searchPullbackForm'].submit();"
validate="false" tabindex="10"><span>Select</span></html:link></li></ul></div>
