You can tell which one was clicked from the value passed in the hidden
field. Although to make it work, you would have to give the hidden
field a name - something I neglected to do :-)
<form method="post" action="delete_an_entry_page.asp">
<input type="hidden" name ="cartitem" value="<%=cart_item_value%">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete">
</form>
If Request.Form("action") = "Delete" Then
Remove item from cart where cart_item_id = Request.Form("cartitme")
