You're right, you can't have one form inside another.

As the web client supports running inside a portal server we have to have to use our uploadForm tag, the downside of this is that you have to have separate forms in the page for uploading files.

Due to the way the dialog and wizard frameworks function it is not possible to achieve this. If you look at add-content-dialog.jsp you'll notice it's a 'full' JSP page and not the normal 'snippet' JSP most dialogs/wizards use.

Our wizards in WCM handle form uploads using a hidden iframe and JavaScript so this is probably your best option if you want to do uploads in a wizard. Have a look at /jsp/wcm/create-form-wizard/details.jsp & configure-rendering-engines.jsp

Hope that helps.
