You want the form to have multiple ACTIONs depending what button is hit
by the user?

If so, you can use the :method type of form element. For example, if I
have a dhtml method named "manage", I can make the form be submitted to
that method by creating a submit button with the name "manage:method"

 <input type=submit name="manage:method" value="manage something...">

You can have as many of these as you want in your form.

I assume this works with ZClasses too, but haven't tried it.
