Even with those search terms. I never found it. The trouble is that Google
'helpfully' tunes its responses based on the browsing history of the person
making the query, so two people can search for the same thing and end up with
a totally different selection of hits.

Yes. I bought it. :-) It is good, but in that particular Chapter, pointed
to by Ralph, there's an awful lot about validation and authentication and very
little about buttons....
It simply never occurred to me that I might use a form with associated Submit
buttons because I don't need a form on my page, just a bunch of buttons.
