Answer 1

your forms should be something like this

   <form name="form1">
   ......
   <input type="submit" value="this submits form1">
   </form>


   <form name="form2">
   ......
   <input type="submit" value="this submits form2">
   </form>

Not like this:

   <form name="form1">
   ......
   <input type="submit" value="this submits form1">

   <form name="form2">
   ......
   <input type="submit" value="this submits form2">
   </form>
   </form>

You can not put one form into another.

Answer 2

with a button inside the form, you can do

$('form input[type="button"]').click(function ()
{
    $(this.form).submit();
})

edit

ok, so per OP's comment, it's anchors, not inputs:

$('form a').click(function ()
{
    $(this).closest('form').submit();
})
