JSP/ HTML ?

[Sam Doder]

I have a form with 2 submit buttons as shown below.

<form action="my_profile.jsp" method="post"  name="my_profile_edit">
....
 
<input type=submit name=control value="Save">
<input type=submit name=control value="Cancel">
 
...
</form>
 

I want to beable to post to the my_profile.jsp and know what button the person pushed. If he pushed the save button do something else if he pused the cancel button do something else.

request.getParameters() IS their away to differentiate between a button that was pushed from a button that wasn't pushed? If so how?

I was thinking I had to use javascript and hidden variables?
But if anybody can tell me of another way or show me a good way to go about this I would be greatful.
Thanks again.

What is submitted for the "control" parameter for each button press?
