Brett,
That's no problem. Add a hidden element to the form, with a name but no
value. Set the appropriate value in each of the onclick handlers. The
form's action page should then check the value of the hidden form
element.
<input type="hidden" name="submitType">
<a href="#"
onclick="document.myForm.submitType.value='A';document.myForm.submit();re
turn false;">Click to submit A</a>
<a href="#"
onclick="document.myForm.submitType.value='B';document.myForm.submit();re
turn false;">Click to submit B</a>
The action page can check the value of FORM.submitType and act
accordingly.
