Re: 1 Form, 2 Actions?

I don't see what the problem is. It is possible to have more than one submit
button on any form, with each one having a unique name instead of 'submit'.
So if you have a form with 'buttonA', 'buttonB' and 'buttonC' when the user
presses one of those buttons that will be the ONLY one to appear in the POST
array. I have been using this technique for years, so don't tell me that it
doesn't work.
