Can I find out (in my form validation routine) which of several submit buttons has been pressed?

Martin Honnen,
If you use the onclick handlers of the submit buttons to store that
information yes:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function validateForm (form) {
alert(form.submitButton);
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="formName"
ACTION="whatever"
ONSUBMIT="return validateForm(this)"
>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="aField">
<BR>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit1"
ONCLICK="this.form.submitButton = this.name;
return true;"
>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit2"
ONCLICK="this.form.submitButton = this.name;
return true;"
>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit3"
ONCLICK="this.form.submitButton = this.name;
return true;"
>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
