This old post mentioned "IE not sending the name/value pair for the submit button when Enter was pressed after filling in a field in the form." And my test confirmed that it is still the case even in today's IE7, which is still the majority of browser in the market, huh? http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives/2005/12/08/fun-with-multiple-submit-buttons/ So I think we should not rely on this trick. If you really need multiple submit buttons, try some javascript technique mentioned in following post, although that way we need multiple actions in our controller, which is not DRY enough. :-/ http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10248489 Anybody who knows a better solution, please correct me. Thanks in advance! Regards, Iceberg PS: the test controller, if you like to test it by yourself. def test(): form=FORM( INPUT(_type='text',_name='foo'), INPUT(_type='submit',_name='s1',_value='111'), INPUT(_type='submit',_name='s2'), ) if form.accepts(request.vars): response.flash=str(request.vars) return {'':form} --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
