I have a form with two submit buttons. Rather than call two different methods as in
<form action="" method="post"> ... <input type="submit" name="some_func:method" value="Button 1"> <input type="submit" name="some_other_func:method" value="Button 2"> </form>
I would like each button to call the same function, but with a different value for a variable. Something like:
<form action="" method="post"> ... <input type="hidden" name="somevar" value="someval"> <input type="submit" name="some_func:method" value="Button 1"> <input type="hidden" name="somevar" value="someotherval"> <input type="submit" name="some_func:method" value="Button 2"> </form>
But this doesn't work.
Any suggestions? Thanks, John Hunter
I do this with JavaScript. Use a hidden input tag to store the variable, and call a function (with your parameters) on the click event of your button which sets the parameters in the request and submits the form. It's not the greatest solution, but it works. I need to use JavaScript anyway since my buttons aren't in the same frame as the form. Harry
