something like:

<form action="x.taf">
<input name="name" type="text" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="link">
</form>

<@IF EXPR="<@ARG submit>='submit'>
Your name as <@ARG name>
<@ELSE>
We ignored your name.  Go to <a href="target">link</a>.
</@IF>

Subject: Witango-Talk: [OT]: Exiting a form (HTML + JavaScript)

> Hi all,
> 
> My question regards the best way to control the exit from a form that
> contains both <input>s and links.
> I would like to be able to warn the user, when he activates a link, that
> changes were made and the submit button has not been clicked so that 
> he can take the appropriate decision.
> 
> I have 2 solutions to this issue:
> 1- make links to act like submit; but this implicitly saves info 
> that he might not want to; 2- use a JavaScript variable that 
> memorizes any change in <input>s and can be evaluated when the user 
> clicks a link; this means that every entry has to be wired-up for 
> the event.
> 
> I can live with (2), but I thought maybe there is a better/simpler 
> solution, a global "this page has been modified" attribute that can 
> be checked before switching context and I do not have to wire every input.
> 
> Any thoughts on this subject would be highly appreciated.

> Many thanks,
