My understanding is that the new form attribute on input lets you put an input tag *outside* any forms, and use the form= attribute to indicate which form it should go with. I think this may be more useful for mobile web apps than desktop browser apps. It doesn't let you copy a form element from one form to another. If you have multiple forms on one page, and want to submit data that is placed in one form with another one, you will have to do that with JS/jQeury. I don't have a ready example, but the basic concept is: * capture the form submit using an onclick * which calls a function that can gather up all the information from the other forms, and * build hidden form elements on the fly for the form you want to submit, and * then programmatically perform the submit This seems interesting enough that I might do up a tutorial on it when I have some time.
