You can use Javascript to set the action of the form, and then submit it
...
function submitForm(actionUrl){
// document.forms[j].reset();
if (isMS){
formStuff = eval ("document."+ currentForm);
}else{
// for netscape if you are using layers eval your current layer
}
formStuff.action = actionUrl;
formStuff.submit();
}
...
<form action="/servlet/ServletName" method="post">
...
<input type="button" name="action1" value="continue"
onClick="submitForm('/servlet/A');">
<input type="button" name="action2" value="finish"
onClick="submitForm('/servlet/B');">
</form>
...
Or have 1 servlet to accept calls from the form and have it route the action
requested to the appropriate object (see Jon's DASH on www.workingdogs.com
for a good example of that).
I only use the JS stuff for working with Forms on layers in DHTML, and use
the routing style for everything else (including handling the JS version).
The JS one I use so I can throw other forms on layers and not care about
syncing the action/submit as they'll get set by the servlet. That way I can
move the servlet called to any packahe combination, and not worry about the
layered forms.
