------------------- I usually use: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('create')"> ... <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('edit')"> ... <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('delete')"> ... </dtml-if> ------------------- That works fine is the form does not need different action http's. When the form needs different action http's, it's more complicated. I don't have a good way of doing it except by using a hidden field in combination with a button and javascript. And Netscape is quite primitive and unforgiving when it comes to javascripts. <script "javascript1.1"> function submitCreate() { document.myForm.action = 'http://.../create'; document.myForm.myActionType = 'create'; ... if (everything_is_fine) { document.myForm.submit(); return true; } else { alert('problems found.'); return false; } } function submitEdit() {...} function submitDelete() {...} </script> <form name="myForm" method="post"> ... <input type="hidden" name="myActionType"> <input type="button" onclick="submitCreate()"> <input type="button" onclick="submitEdit()"> <input type="button" onclick="submitDelete()"> </form> And on the server side: <dtml-if "REQUEST.has_key('myActionType') and REQUEST.myActionType == 'create'"> ... If anyone else has a better approach, please let me know. Thanks. Hung Jung ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
