Another method if you don't want to use javascript is to just use
the "NAME" attribute in your HTML form..
eg.
<input type="SUBMIT" NAME="btn_1" VALUE="First button">
<input type="SUBMIT" NAME="btn_2" VALUE="Second button">
then in your servlet, you can just do a
String btn_1 = request.getParameter ("btn_1");
String btn_2 = request.getParameter ("btn_2");
if (btn_1 != null)
{
// user has clicked on btn_1
}
else
{
// user has clicked on btn_2
}
hope this helps,

Subject: Re: How to know which form button was pressed?
Hi,
Try this:
1st add a hidden field into the form
<input type=hidden name=button value="">
2nd you'll need a JavaScript-function that changes the value of the hidden
field
(depending on the given parameter) and submits the form.
function submitForm(button) { ... }
3rd change your submitbuttons into normal ones and add an onClick-method
which
will run the funktion.
hope this helps
