You simply can't submit two forms at once.

I'd propose to use AJAX's XMLHttpRequest. As a starting point, look
here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest

Basically, you need to instantiate two XMLHttpRequest object, and fire
them one after the other. Both XMLHttpRequest get fired asynchronously,
if used using correct settings.

To prepare the XMLHttpRequest, use JavaScript
