Having many small forms is actually working out pretty well, and seems
to be a resonable solution. It was not intuitive to me, but I think
it's just a disconnect between the way I would do things in a GUI
framework versus the way things need to be done for web applications.
By the way, I think it w
I know. They were just regular good practice suggestions. Sorry. Will
look for a solution.

Hi Massimo,
Thank you for the suggestions. I have implemented both, but neither
helps with the original problem of having components with multiple
buttons work with ajax=True. My new controller generates several forms
each with just one button and with distinct formnames. It has an if
form.accepts
if you do not need a view and your component only displays the form
you can just "return form" and pypass the generic view. It will be
faster. I also suggest you use ajax=True. Always call the component
directly as a test that it is working.

I think I found a workable (but slightly annoying) solution: create
several mini-forms that only have the submit button, each with a
different form name. Then I can just use many
if form_blah.accepts(request.vars, session, formname='form_blah'):
clauses. I'd still be interested in knowing if there

Hmm, so it sounds like components with multiple buttons are basically
not supported easily. I am writing an application to control a bunch
of scientific equipment. For each piece of equipment I was planning to
make one component to monitor and control it, and then put all these
components on one we
Forms in ajax components and non-ajax components with ajax_trap=True are
submitted via ajax, and the form variables are serialized via the jQuery
.serialize() method. As explained here (http://api.jquery.com/serialize/),
the .serialize() method doesn't know what triggered the form submission, so
I just tried a single component with ajax=True and found that it was
not responding.
Digging more deeply, I am finding that request.vars includes only
_formname="default" and _formkey=. Only with a single
form and ajax=False do I see the expected autoEQ = "yes".
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks,

I think with ajax=False you're going to run into problems because the end
result is both of the forms on one page of HTML and the controller might get
confused on which to handle.
But I would think ajax=True should work. ajax_trap should be unnecessary.
Can you get one form to work by itself wi
