[development] form_api: same form called multiple times, wrong form_state values

[Lee Rowlands]

Hi Hans
When you inspect the form using firebug/web developer toolbar - what form
id/form build id does each form have?
If they are all the same then you've got a problem and you might need to
use hook_forms. This is how (for example) Ubercart adds an 'add to cart'
button for multiple products on one page (ie multiple forms per page).
These 'add to cart' forms sound similar to yours - ie a button. Perhaps if
you have a look at how uc_product_forms works you might be able to do
something similar (http://api.lullabot.com/uc_product_forms)
