+Note that this solution does not use ".dispatch" and is not tied to Struts

+=== Discussion ===
+This solution is for <input type='image'> only. The other cases, of course, do not
pose special problems with determining which button was clicked. This solution is
superior to the Button solution which follows because only one button object has to be
created. If you use buttons for navigation extensively within large forms, this
because crucial.
