Re:Submit form with and

[Catherine]

Hello again!

I solved my problem by following Zammetti's suggestion. Thank you all very much 
for your thoughts. My solutions as following. Hope it helps newbies like myself.

Thanks,
Catherine

JavaScript functions:
// alert user if the new attribute already exists
function checkNewAttribute() {
  var theForm = document.forms[0];
  if (theForm.submitAction.value == "Add Attribute") {
    //comment out for clarity
    //1. check empty selection
    //2. check redundant attribute
    if redundant
        return(false);
    else 
        return(true);   
    }
    
// set value for the hidden field "submitAction"
function setSubmitAction(target) {
    document.forms[0].submitAction.value = target;
}

In JSP:
<html:form action="myAction" onsubmit="return checkNewAttribute()">
...
   <html:submit onclick="setSubmitAction('Add Attribute')">Add 
Attribute</html:submit>
    <html:submit onclick="setSubmitAction('Save')">Save</html:submit>
     <html:submit onclick="setSubmitAction('Commit')">Commit</html:submit>
     <html:hidden property="submitAction" value=""/>
</html:form>
