This is not possible with html, you only post one form at a time, now what you need to think about is another alternative solution to the problem you are trying to solve here, e.g why not to mix all and prefix the fields with a certain class1, class2, classn prefix.

<script>
    submitform = function(){
        document.getElementById("form1").submit();
        
        setTimeOut(function() {
            document.getElementById("form2").submit();
        }, 5000);
    }
</script>

Karim, I am not sure, whether we can do so or not, as while submitting the first form, it is just redirecting to another URL (class1/add), and where, it is not finding the DOM where form2 present (if we are trying the above code).

So, best if we can use AJAX for submitting the form, and then submit the 2nd form, once we will get success on the first form submit.
