The advantage of using named submit buttons, is that you can have multiple
actions on the same form.
And it's good to keep in mind if the user presses the enter key to submit
the form, instead of pressing the submit button(s), browsers behave different.
The explicit nature of naming stuff makes it easier to maintain, theoretically.
Usually I'll have a <cfif structKeyExists(form,'fieldnames')> followed by a
<cfif structKeyExists(form,"saveRecord")>, saveRecord being the name
of the save button. There may be a "deleteRecord" or some such button
too.
But I like knowing that the user clicked a specific button.
And later on, I may end up putting forms together or something, and it
helps when debugging to see names of things.
Even if I just have one submit, I name it. Probably because of my
main style of coding more than anything else; I can envision designs
where it wouldn't make much difference, I reckon...
