database. I'm stuck after that. The form only has one 'action' so how would I get it to handle the right function depending on the button that was pushed? I'm no HTML expert but I've looked around quite a bit for

It can be done with some badly documented magic (see http://www.zope.org/Members/Zen/howto/FormVariableTypes when zope.org is working again :-P)

Example:

<form action='itdoesntmatter' method=post> <input name=afield> <input type=submit name="delete:method" value=" Delete "> <input type=submit name="modify:method" value=" Modify "> </form> Wow, live can be so easy ;-) But I wonder if I can pass additional parameters to the methods. No, <input type=hidden name=... value=...> does not fit my needs as the parameter to pass has always the same name but different values for each method.

In this example, the action is never called. If the user clicks on the delete button, the method 'delete' (generally in the same folder as

this This is not necessary as I have found out. You can give full qualified paths to the methods eg. <input type=submit name="/myMethods/delete:method value =" Delete ">.

form) is called instead of the action. Similarly, click on Modify and the method called 'modify' is called instead of the action.

I'll try to remember to put this up as a tip on zope.org when its possible...
