Forms don't have a name. Any 'name' or 'id' attributes applied to a form
can be used in client-side scripting, but are not submitted to the
server.

IMHO using a hidden element is the most reliable and safest way.

Another way would be to give the submit buttons in each form different
names and check which button was pressed, but this might not always work
as expected.
