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 uniq

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 pr

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 Cold

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

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. I always just do a regular button, and change the form action via Javascript. Cheers, Rob On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 8:24

I'm using cf9 on iis7 and when I put what you've provided into a form, form.choose is either equal to change, or full, depending on which button was clicked. On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 6:24 PM, John Pullam wrote: > > I have seen several examples of using multiple form buttons on a single > form. Th

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
