使用多个表单，在ASP.NET Web表单页面上提交按钮

Question

I have 3 different submit buttons(Log In, Search, Insert) in the same page and what I want is to find the best way to have this 3 buttons doing a different things when I press them, or I press enter while I am about to press them. As you can see from my photo, when I press Log In the Insert is pressed too because I have a global form in my Master Page.

I tried to use different forms, but i can't because I need them to have runat="server" , which is not possible for a page to have.

I use asp Texboxes:

<asp:TextBox class="text-input" ID="txtLoginEmail" runat="server"
Height="15px" Width="130px"></asp:TextBox>

and asp Buttons:

<asp:Button class="submit google-button" ID="btnLogin" onclick="btnLogin_Click" 

runat="server" Text="Log in" />

except my Search button which is linkButton:

<asp:LinkButton ID="searchLink" runat="server" onclick="searchLink_Click">Search</asp:LinkButton>

You may use Validation Groups to cause only required text boxes validation on specific button click. And then in event handler to concrete button you may execute specific logic.
