Hi Peter, I thought the point of using actions in this way was to avoid using an if statement. But I agree that way would work.
I don't think I need to use javascript. I have a hidden field that contains the name of the default button (so it gets passed when I hit enter) and if they click on another button the name/value gets passed before the hidden field's name/value gets passed. The danger is if the hidden field name/value ever gets passed before the button name/value, it would look like I clicked on a different button than I did. I'm wondering if this situation would ever happen (it didn't on my sample size of 1 form but that doesn't make me feel much better). Thanks again, David -----Original Message----- From: Peter Courcoux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 12:23 PM To: Turbine Users List Subject: RE: Form submittal problem David, Another way to handle form submission is to have a separate action for each form, handle everything in the doPerform() method and test for which button is clicked by seeing if the parameters contain the name of the button. This avoids the alternative of using javascript to set values of hidden fields. Peter On Fri, 2004-03-26 at 20:13, David Demner wrote: > Ah!
