So, do not rely on BUTTONS as variables in scripts since browsers are FUNKY
and button variables don't always get set as they should. Use hidden
variables. If you have different buttons doing different things, such as
(delete, submit, open, etc.), then make each button call a javascript to set
the value of the hidden variable like so:
<form name="myForm" method="post" action="phpscript.php">
<input type="button" name="edit" onClick="javascript:
this.form.action.value='edit';">
<input type="button" name="delete" onClick="javascript:
this.form.action.value='delete';">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" onClick="javascript:
this.form.action.value='submit';">
<input type="hidden" name="action"> <!-- this value will be set by the
button that gets clicked by user -->
</form>
THis always works for me!
