Hello,
I have a self - submitting form with multiple submits and I want to
detect after the submit which button is pressed.
Code example:
<form name="example" method="post" action="/test.php">
<input type =submit name="add"> form elements but also
<a href="#" onClick=documen t.myForm.submit ()>edit</a>
<a href="#" onClick=documen t.myForm.submit ()>modify</a>
</form>
If I submit the form by clicking either of these elements, how do I
detect in PHP which element was used to submit the form?
TIA,

You don't.
Try this:
<html>
<body>
<?
// received?
if (isset($_POST["myAction"])) {
echo $_POST["myAction"]." clicked!";
}
?>
<br>
<form name="example" method="post" action="test.ph p">
<input type=submit name="myAction" value="ADD">
<input type=submit name="myAction" value="EDIT">
<input type=submit name="myAction" value="MODIFY">
</form>
</body>
</html>
TIA,
You're welcome

why have you named the submit button "add"? sounds more like an
action.
how bout naming it a nice generic "submit"
<form name="myForm" method="post">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="action" value="edit">de fault action = edit
<input type="submit" name="submit">
<a href="#" onClick="docume nt.myForm.actio n.value='edit';
document.myForm .submit();">edi t</a>
<a href="#" onClick="docume nt.myForm.actio n.value='modify ';
document.myForm .submit();">mod ify</a> me**********@ya hoo.com (Marc) wrote in message news:<ac******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... Hello,

Hmmm.. Now I get
document.myForm .submit() is not a function in the JavaScript console of Netscape...
Used to work....

Marc
sorry.. I'm real slow to get back to this thread...
netscape doesn't like the submit button being named "submit"
it gets confused with "document.myFor m.submit();"

I'm validating a form that has two buttons ("Next" and "Back"). The call
to the script is currently in the form's onSubmit() handler. Upon
pressing either button, the script runs. This is understandable, since
either button press is considered a submit. Is there a way to test which
button was pressed to determine whether or not to run the script?
Thanks,
Aaron
P.S. I've already tried attaching the same script to the "Next" button's

Hi,
I am trying to change the data in a form field from python. The following
code does not crash but has no effect as if "form" is just a copy of the
original html form.
Must I recreate the form order to do that ?
My point is for the client to be able to re-read the modified data.

Regular old html.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
