Usually that's triggered by the name of the form button that was clicked,
not the value. For example, you might have two buttons:
<input type="submit" name="btnSave" value="Save">
<input type="submit" name="btnDelete" value="Delete">
On your processing page...
<cfif isDefined("form.btnSave")>
<!--- Save changes --->
<cfelseif isDefined("form.btnDelete")>
<!--- Delete entry --->
</cfif>
...and so on. With HTML forms, if two or more form elements have the same
name, the values of all active form elements with that name will be put into
a comma-delimited list and show up in ColdFusion as a single variable with a
list of values, as you experienced. This is great for checkboxes (getting a
list of the ones that were checked that share a name), but not so great for
submit buttons.
