This is my pageactions text using your form idea:

>>rframe font-size=90pct<<
(:if !authid:)
*[[{$FullName}?action=login|$[Login]]]
(:if authid:)
*[[{$FullName}?action=logout|$[Logout]]]
*[[Site]]
*%item rel=nofollow class=edit accesskey='$[ak_edit]'
%[[{$FullName}?action=edit | $[Edit] ]]
*%item rel=nofollow class=diff
accesskey='$[ak_history]'%[[{$FullName}?action=diff |$[History] ]]
(:ifend:)
>>lframe font-size=90pct<<
*[[TheCleaner/Purchase|Purchase]]%%
*[[TheCleaner/Download|Download]]
*[[Forum/Forum|Forum]]
*[[The Cleaner/Support|Customer Service]]
*%item rel=nofollow class=print
accesskey='$[ak_print]'%[[{$FullName}?action=print | $[Print] ]]
*%item rel=nofollow class=search
accesskey='$[ak_search]'%[[{$FullName}?action=search | $[Search] ]]
*(:input form method=post enctype=multipart/form-data :)(:input hidden
name=n value={$FullName}:)(:input hidden name=action
value='http://www.moosoft.com/TheCleaner/Submit':)(:input file
name='uploadfile' size='10':)(:input submit value="$[Upload]":)(:input end:)
>><<

The problems with this can be see at http://www.moosoft.com/moosoft_test

The input box moves to another line instead if appearing after "Search".
 The buttons are too big, is there a way to make them smaller? The
action does not open the URL.

If this would be easier in ZAP, I have that installed but I don't know
how to make my dream a reality ;)
