Add extra Fields to Ask a Question

Hello!

I'm trying to add some extra fields to the "ask a question form", text and combo box. I've searched the forum for solutions, and I've been following other posts about this subject, but I'm getting a "Invalid Token" error when submitting the form.
I would like to ask for your kind help to try to solve this problem.
I am no coder but here is what I have done so far:

file form.php

<label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_NAME')  ?> : <input type="text" class="validate[required,minSize[4],maxSize[100]]" value="<?php echo $this->user->name ?>" name="name" id="name" size="30"  validation="required name"/></label>
         <br />
         <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_EMAIL')  ?> : <input type="text" class="validate[required,custom[email]]" value="<?php echo $this->user->email ?>" name="email" id="email" size="30"  validation="required email"/></label>
         <br/>
          <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_SHOPPER_FORM_PHONE')  ?> : <input type="text" class="validate[required,custom[phone]]" value="<?php echo $this->phone ?>" name="phone" id="phone" size="30"  validation="required phone"/></label></form>
<p></p><form action=""> <label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_OPTION_FORM_PRODUCT')  ?> :
<select name="Object">
<option value="Object1">Object1</option>
<option value="Object2">Object2</option>
<option value="Object3">Object3</option>
<option value="Object4">Object4</option>
<option value="Object5">Object5</option>
<option value="Object6">Object6</option>
<option value="Object7">Object7</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
</form></label>
<label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_USER_FORM_SIZE')  ?> : <input type="text" class="validate[required,minSize[1],maxSize[50]]" value="<?php echo $this->user->size ?>" name="size" id="size" size="30"  validation="required size"/></label>
         <br/>
<p></p>
<form action=""><label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_OPTION_GLASS')  ?> :
<select name="Glass">
<option value="Glass1">Glass1</option>
<option value="Glass2">Glass2</option>
<option value="Glass3">Glass3</option>
</select>
</form></label>
<p></p>
<form action=""><label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PASS1')  ?> :
<select name="Pass">
<option value="Pass1">Pass1</option>
<option value="Pass2">Pass2</option>
<option value="Pass3">Pass3</option>
</select>
</form></label>
<form ><label><?php echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_PASS')  ?> : <input type="text" value="<?php echo $this->user->pass ?>" name="pass" id="pass" size="30" /></label><p></p>

I'm using joomla version 2.5.20, and virtuemart version 2.0.26d

What I am doing wrong?
Thank you for your attention.

You can't have all these multiple form elements - one opening with an action etc and one closing

surround all inputs with them

Hi GJC Web Design!

Thank you for your attention and for your quick reply.

So, if I understood what you said, I can't use those 3 form actions. I used just one, surrounding the combo box fields, but I'm still getting the error :(

Thank you once again for you answer GJC Web Design!

I found the reason why it wasn't working. I had a </form> in the middle of the code I forgot to remove. I removed it and now is working fine!

Thank you for your attention!  ;D
