Re: two submit buttons in a form

or maybe, you can use a radio button (like the ones for the voting system here) and one submit.

<input type="text" value="" name="buddyname"><br>
<input type="radio" name="action" value="add"> Add Buddy <br>
<input type="radio" name="action" value="remove"> Add Buddy <br>
[download]

and later on...

my $action = $q->param('action'); # this is assuming you're using CGI.
+pm;
if ($action eq 'add') {
    &addBuddy;
else {
    &deleteBuddy;
}
[download]

As far as I can see, this is way better than two submits.

But this is much worse from a user interface perspective, as it requires one to two clicks, as opposed to just one. It also introduces more of a chance of error, since the same button does adding and deleting. (Not to mention that both your buttons are labelled "Add User" grin)	[reply]
