This has been pointed out from time to time on this list. It is a fact: if
the user submits a form with the return key, a submit button value may, or
may not, get posted. So don't rely on the submit button.
3 possibilities:
1. If one of the buttons can be considered the "default" action, then write
your logic as:
if(non-default button)
do non-default stuff
else
do default stuff
If no button value gets passed, the default stuff gets done.
2. Again, if one button is "default", put a HIDDEN field with the same name
and value as the default submit button just *before* the non-default submit
button. The HIDDEN will always get posted, but will get overwritten if the
user clicks the non-default button.
3. Write your logic as:
if(non-default button)
do non-default stuff
elseif(default button)
do default stuff
else
meta refresh redirect back to original page
In the redirect, put a message asking the user to click a button, with a
pause of 5 seconds or so.
