Re: multiple submit buttons

This would have to be done with client-side scripts. Your two buttons would have to be normal <input type="button" ...> and not submit buttons. You would need to have a hidden field in your form in which you will store the action that the user wants to take. <input type="hidden" name="command" value=""> Then both buttons need to have client-side script attached that will put a value in the "command" hidden field (say, "open" or "delete") and call the form's submit method. I won't embarass myself by trying to give you sample code, since I'm particularily inept at client-side scripting - but that's the way to do what you need.
