Hi Pierre,
WebObjects knows because each submit button has a unique value that
is submitted along with the rest of the form values.
I believe I remember seeing on this list mention of a Wonder
component that would do what you want. (My very next project, I'm
going to start using Wonder, promise!) However, if you're not using
Wonder, it's not hard. Put a WOHiddenField on the form and give it a
name, say MyHiddenField, and bind it to a page variable. Then have
your onClick do something like:
this.form.myHiddenField.value = "Button #1"; this.form.submit();
Have your form action bound to a method that first looks at the
hidden field's page variable to decide what button has been clicked,
and from there it can decide what to do.
(Warning, this was NOT cut from somewhere, so there may be typos/
logic lapses. ;-)
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Mark

Hi!
Does anyone happen to know how WebObjects knows which button was
clicked to submit a form?
I do know that the INPUT element has an elementID and how this maps
to actions in invokeAction...
So it's not the WebObjects side of things I am worried about, it's
the HTML.
So when a form is submitted, by default it's form action URL is
called. But what parameter tells the server what triggered the
submission?
OK, what I want to do is to submit a form using JavaScript. And of
JavaScript I know very little. There is stuff like:
document.myForm.submit()
But what if I want to simulate the click of a button? I don't think
button.click() will do it as I want to attach my script to the
button, so this would be an infiite loop.
Can I grab the INPUT element's ID and somehow submit it along with
the form?
Pierre
