Form with 2 Submit Buttons

I needed a form with two submit buttons to do two different things. Here's an easy way to do it.

First create a form. Then create one submit button as usual.

Then copy that one as many times as you want and use name="[same-name]", but make the values different like this:

<input type="submit" value="Display" name="choose">
<input type="submit" value="Count" name="choose">
<input type="submit" value="Email" name="choose">

Then on your process form simply use:

<CFIF form.choose is "Display">

<CFELSEIF form.choose is "Count">

and so on...

You could also use CFSWITCH I suppose.
