Two Forms on one page MVC

Question

I am having jQuery tab control and first tab has a edit form and other tab is where users can upload images.Problem is that when I am on second tab and try to upload image it always validates the first form also.

First tab Edit Form:

<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>

Second tab Form:

<% using (Html.BeginForm("UploadImage", "Images", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) {%>

Is there a way to fix this so it only does post to Images controller instead of validating the 1st form.

Sounds like you may want to implement a form of validation group:
