I'm going to give you a short answer because your question is vaguely 
worded.
On a single page, forms cannot be nested. (You cannot have a form 
sitting inside another form - forms cannot nest) You can have more than 
one forms, sitting seperately from each other:
<form name="form 1">... some form here ...</form>
<form name="form 2">... some form2 here ...</form>
Now, to disable forms, use this example. This assumes that you have a 
textbox named theTextboxName:
<input type="button" value="click me to disable!" 
onClick="document.theTextboxName.disabled=true">
To enable them, use the same code above BUT change it to 
*disabled=false*
