[Zope] Re: Two buttons one method -

[Florent Guillaume]

Hi,

- Why are you sending this to me? I'm not the one who has a problem.

- Please don't send HTML mails.

- Please keep the subject so that we can find the thread you're
responding to.

- Your first method isn't always applicable, it's not always possible to
split the form in two.

- Your second method doesn't work.
