With the old "command" way the button would be defined as: <input type=submit name="command" value="Open"> The value Open would be shown as the label of the button and would map to a method doOpen. But in another language the button would need a label that has characters that may not be allowed in a method name. And then there are times when you do not want a different command to be executed, but rather a completely different action. Of course with javascript you can work around everything but not everyone likes javascript. Since the question has come up a number of times I thought it would be good with one easy way to solve the problem.
