But Chuck...
The idea is to have the javascript: link include the current $action.
If print_form simply does a "$HTML->{ACTION} = $action;" some time
before get_content is called, then {{ACTION}} inside *ANY* template
file should be rewritten according to the value of the global variable
$action, shouldn't it? The get_content function doesn't discriminate.
