I think you should handle the problem in the other sens.
In the main page, you have the function that open the popup. simply call 
just after this function another one that will "send" to the popup the id to 
use when returning the filename. Simply add a hidden input in the popup html 
that will be used to store the id.

I think there is already a form element in the main cartoweb template and 
imbricating form into form is maybe not a good idea
what you can do is simply use the main form for dynamicaly change with 
javascript the "action" value to suit your needs, in other words, access the 
main form element, get his action (so you can revert it back later), set the 
new action, and revert back its value once you are done.

Btw, I dont understand why you need a secondary form element in the edition 
area. Dont you only need that in the popup windows ?

Certainly, you can use the same system as for select and set a list of 
attribute name that must be treated as textarea. Simply by careful to 
correctly set the name, id and values of the element.
