A way out of your dilemma may be to add a hidden textfield
<input type='hidden' name='whichbutton'>
<button name="submit1"
type="submit"
id="submit1"
onClick="this.form.whichbutton.value = 'a_value_as_you_like';
return true;"
value="action1">button title</button>
Then you can pick up which button was clicked on the server side by
looking at the
hiddenbutton parameter, replace 'a_value_as_you_like' with something
more meaningful.
Maybe you can't depend on javascript though.
