How to include a visualforce page inside of another page

I have a visualforce page which contains 4 tabs.In one of the tab i need to include another visualforce page.

When I tried to do this with <apex:include> i got the following error
" Error: 'apex:form' component cannot be nested within form tags "
If I remove form tag in anyof the page,it contains lots of components that can not survive without form.

For instance if I delete the form tag then it is showing the error like
" Error: <apex:selectRadio> (under <apex:page>) must occur between <apex:form></apex:form> tags. "

In this situation how can I include one visual force page inside of another..?

Any idea would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Hi Chitra,

Have you tried out using iframes?
I would suggest to use iframe instead of apex:include.

Thanks,
Sagar.

No Sagar I did not tried..It may work I guess..
Is it same like simple iframe tag which we use in HTML...?
How can I get the page url to give for iFrame 'src' property..

Thanks in advance

Sorry it might be a silly doubt..But I really dont know how to acheive..

<apex:iframe src="{!pageNameVariable}" /> - what must be the value for "pageNameVariable"

if you want to bind the bind the page name dynamically from controller, you can use or if you want to include a fix page then

I have included the page like this
<apex:iframe src="pageToBeIcluded" />
Page is included but the entire page is coming,

Error image

I need only the page components..I do not want lfet navigation,it should work same like <apex:page showHeader="false">
but how can i achieve this in the <apex:iframe>... ??

Thanks in advance

Can you try, or

My Mistake Mr.Bhawani Sharma..
I just added showHeader="false' parameter with the inner page.
So now the framed page is coming as expected without the header & side bar..

Thanks

Im trying to do the same thing.  I have: 

  
<apex:iframe src="{!pageNameVariable}" />

 pageNameVariable = '/apex/EmbeddedFile';

But the iframe opens with the login screen asking the user to login?!?! How do i stop this from happening and opening the vf straight away? 

Thanks
