You have to render `supplier_search` partial after `submit` button of product form. — Ramiz Raja, Feb 10 '14 at 07:10
guys, even if it works, it's not html valid. You can not insert a form inside a form. Please read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/555928/is-it-valid-to-have-a-html-form-inside-another-html-form — franchez, Feb 10 '14 at 07:14
ok thanks. we can't create another form before closing the product form I am right? — Siva KB, Feb 10 '14 at 07:15

Render suplier_search partial after submit button of product form.

<%= f.text_field :code, class: 'form-control'%>

<%= f.text_field :supplier_id, class: 'form-control'%>

<%= f.submit 'Save', :class=>'button add'%>

<%= render :partial => 'supplier_search' %>

Or

Don't have form in suplier_search partial. Just put input field or whatever you want, there and submit those fields via Ajax and get your required results in product form.

if its not partialing for <%= render :partial => 'supplier_search' %> then use

"your views folder name/supplier_search" %>
