Several submit buttons in a form

[Otto Wyss]

In a form I've several buttons which submits the form and I'd like to do
different checks in the onsubmit event handler. How can I find out which
button was activated?

<script type="text/javascript">
function checkInput (t) {
if (t. ...) return false;
return true;
}
....
<form name="test" onsubmit="return checkInput(this);" action="...
...
<input type="submit" name="send1" value="Text1">
<input type="submit" name="send2" value="Text2">

You could add an onclick handler for each button.

<input type="hidden" name="submitButtonClicked">

<input type="submit" name="send1"
onclick="this.form.submitButtonClicked.value=this. name">

And then check the value of t.submitButtonClicked and it will tell you
which button was clicked.
