MVC 4 submit 2 forms with one button

Question

I have a MVC 4 web application and need to submit two forms (maybe three forms) with one button. Is there a way to work around? or I have to merge the forms into one big form?

I searched around, found lots of the threads about "ONE FORM MULTI BUTTONS", but they are not what I am looking for.

Any suggestion, links, ideas are welcomed!

When you say three forms are you trying to send to multiple sources? For example, you own processor, MailChimp and PayPal? — lonehorseend

You can always submit more forms using Javascript. Intercept the submit event, and use the boilerplate JQuery for Ajax-submitting a form:

$("#theFirstForm, #theSecondForm").on("submit", function(e) {

    // prevent the default form-post
    e.preventDefault();

    $.post($("#theFirstForm").prop('action'), $("#theFirstForm").serialize(), function() {
        // first form post complete 
    });

    $.post($("#theSecondForm").prop('action'), $("#theSecondForm").serialize(), function() {
        // second form post complete 
    });
});

How about no form and just sending a async post from javascript using XMLHttpRequest?
