Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
Thanx for all the feedback. I'm about 95% sure that I've done all this before
and made it work. And the examples given have been tried too. There must be
something different in my case. This simple use of 2 buttons on a page worked
for me. But when I put it back into the live case it fails, so I think I am
missing something there.
I have trimmed out irrelevant code in an attempt to get this down to a basic
test but still it fails showing me a string that has both button names (it
didn't do this when I started with a single page). My case includes a cfwindow,
so there are 2 bits of code below ... the page and the window.
The calling page:

cfabort showerror=stop

cfdump var=#FORM#
cfform
input name=Choose value=Change type=submit /
input name=Choose value=Full type=submit /
/cfform

/cfoutput
No matter what I do, it keeps setting FORM.Choose to Change,Full
Any ideas?

Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
When I change the cfform to form, it works properly, but that will stop my cfinput and cfselect tags from working. Is it possible that there is something about the use of cfform that is causing this? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
...and so on. With HTML forms, if two or more form elements have the same name, the values of all active form elements with that name will be put into a comma-delimited list and show up in ColdFusion as a single variable with a list of values, as you experienced. This is great for checkboxes (getting a list of the ones that were checked that share a name), but not so great for submit buttons. Actually, it's great for submit buttons too! Only the one that is clicked will be sent to the action page. I've used this approach for many years, and I prefer it to giving the submit buttons different names.

Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
You will need to have a different name, and then check that value. Since your buttons both have the same name, the value for both will be in the form scope as you have seen. Again, that's not correct. You can certainly have submit buttons with the same name and different values. There are at least five types of form fields that don't pass their values to the action page in all cases: checkboxes, radio buttons, selected options in a select box, images, and submit buttons. I always just do a regular button, and change the form action via Javascript. That's not going to degrade very well if JavaScript is disabled.

Re: Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
When using a regular HTML form, we rely on the browser to act like a regular browser. Only the 'activated' elements of a form are sent. Form elements with the same name and are 'activated' will be received by the server as a comma-delimited list. In a regular form, only the button that is pressed is 'activated' so your scenario works correctly. Now enter into the world of cfwindow/cfform. These two tag-groups are extremely powerful, but do cause some changes in the way the form is processed. As you mentioned, when you changed your cfform to a regular form, it worked correctly, but you lost the 'keep in the cfwindow' functionality. Cfform and cfwindow appears to work together to submit forms via AJAX. The script probably compiles the form in the usual manner, any field with an active value are sent to the server. The ajax probably identifies the button that was pressed, by its name, and then gathers the values for that 'named field' In this case, you can achieve your needs in 1 of 2 ways (probably a lot more, but working on little sleep here). 1. make your buttons unique names, and parse on the server side based on the button that was pressed. 2. create an additional hidden field, when one of the buttons is pressed, pass the value of the pressed button to the hidden field using javascript, and have your server check the value of the hidden field, instead of the button.

Re: Using two submit buttons to control form action
Then what I am reading is that ColdFusion simply doesn't do a correct job of processing cfform submit buttons when used in a cfwindow. As much as I would like to get it to run correctly I have opted for making this 2 separate small forms and then testing the existence of a button that is unique to each form in the postback processing. That was the cleanest thing to do in my case. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Using two submit buttons to control form action
I have seen several examples of using multiple form buttons on a single form. The idea is that you can get the value of the respective form variable when you are posted and then take the appropriate action. But I'm getting odd results. Instead of getting a single value, I get both values every time, and the examples I've seen suggest that you should only get the one that was pressed. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do to get a single value? My code for the buttons is as follows: input name=Choose value=Change type=submit class=EditButton / input name=Choose value=Full type=submit class=EditButton / When I CFDump it, FORM.Choose is Change,Full ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Using two submit buttons to control form action
I have seen several examples of using multiple form buttons on a single form. The idea is that you can get the value of the respective form variable when you are posted and then take the appropriate action. Usually that's triggered by the name of the form button that was clicked, not the value. For example, you might have two buttons: input type=submit name=btnSave value=Save input type=submit name=btnDelete value=Delete On your processing page... cfif isDefined(form.btnSave) !--- Save changes --- cfelseif isDefined(form.btnDelete) !--- Delete entry --- /cfif ...and so on. With HTML forms, if two or more form elements have the same name, the values of all active form elements with that name will be put into a comma-delimited list and show up in ColdFusion as a single variable with a list of values, as you experienced.

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
You can change the action of your form with JavaScript. Not sure where I
originally got the script.
!---
Multiple Submit JavaScript
This script will dynamically change the form action based upon which button
is pressed. The form name must be specified and match the form name in the
JavaScript.
The submit buttons should be type=button and use an
onclick=goSubmit('Pone'); for each of the elements.
---
script
function goSubmit(pg) {
if (pg == Pone) {
document.MyForm.action=index.cfm?fuseaction=action1
}else{
document.MyForm.action=index.cfm?fuseaction=action2
}document.MyForm.submit();
}
/script
form name=MyForm action=index.cfm method=post
input type=button value=- Back onClick=goSubmit('Pone');
input type=button value=Finish onclick=goSubmit('Ptwo');

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
I think the best solution is to learn fusebox. All of your buttons then go through an index page and then redirects the user accordingly. Not only is it very easy to have multiple submit buttons on a page it also organizes your code and helps make your application more modular. To find a good newbie guide on fb3 go to http://bombusbee.com/index.php?fuseaction=downloads.byCategory You can find info at www.halhelms.com or www.fusebox.org the only regret you'll have is not learning fb earlier. -Original Message- From: Ed Gordon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 4:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
Watch out though, the name of the button is only in the form scope if the button is pressed. If the form is submitted via the enter key (in IE), then the button was not pressed and the name of it will be undefined. Make sure you check for that, or include a hidden field with the same name.

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
Is the name of the button not showing up in the form scope on these browser version? -Shawn -Original Message- From: Scott Van Vliet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 7:40 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form? This won't work on IE 4.5 on the Mac, and NN 4.x (both Mac and PC) are giving me problems as I am testing this right now. Has anyone else had success with NN (or IE on the Mac) and naming buttons?

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
Ahh, ok thanks. -Shawn -Original Message- From: Tony Schreiber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 7:57 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form? Watch out though, the name of the button is only in the form scope if the button is pressed. If the form is submitted via the enter key (in IE), then the button was not pressed and the name of it will be undefined. Make sure you check for that, or include a hidden field with the same name. Yeah the name of the button is in the form scope. -Shawn Regan -Original Message- From: Scott Van Vliet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 5:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?

RE: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
You could do this:
html
head
script language=javascript
!--
var formAction = null;
function validForm(obj){
if (formAction == 1){
obj.action = action_page_1.cfm?variable=Anything;
return true;
} else if (formAction == 2){
obj.action = action_page_2.cfm?variable=SomethingElse;
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
//--
/script
/head
body
..
form name=formName action=# method=post onsubmit=return
validForm(this)
input type=submit value=Action 1 onclick=formAction=1
input type=submit value=Action 2 onclick=formAction=2
/form
..
/body
/html
HTH ^_^

Subject: two SUBMIT buttons on a form?
Is there a simple way to have two buttons on the bottom of a form, one
which
goes to one .cfm and one to another, and yet have both process the
entered
form data on the way?
I would of course label them differently, such as NEW and COPY, or for
