HTML input field OUTSIDE of a form

I have a form with a set of inputs, and I want my page to refresh when one of them changes. I have a second set of inputs on the OTHER side of the page, and the css layout doesn't make it convenient for me to put them in the same <form> </form> tag. I was wondering if there is a way that I can make sure those "inputs" that are located outside of the <form> tag are still associated with that form.

Is there some way we can assign a "form id" to the inputs?

<input type="text" form="myform" /> worked for me.

Update
This worked great with FireFox, however gave me trouble in IE 11 as the form attribute is not recognized with IE (as of writing this).

I had to just set a hidden input field inside the form, and transferred value to hidden input field from input outside form; with onclick using jQuery.
