multiple html forms on one page?

Hi!
I have a general question regarding html forms and dbforms:

Is it possible, to process the request data of more than one html form in the same jsp?

I would like to use a simple html form beside dbforms on the same page and like to process the data of this form on the same page too.

Unfortunately I always get an exception from the dbforms framework, if there's data in my html form:

Is there a way to use another html form beside dbforms on my page?

Thanks in advance + regards T.
