Maybe it is not supported by CGI but that doesn't mean it is not supported by the
browser. There is no reason for IE of course to
say "it hurts". When you click first button bth is "Yes", click on second button bth
is "No". Also you can have several buttons
everyone of them do "submit" with different names, so if one button is named "edit",
other - "delete". When a user clicks "delete"
button PHP put in $HTTP_GET_VARS or $HTTP_POST_VARS "delete" index. There is no "edit"
index.
