You can have one form for each submit button, and have the form action point to the target script for that button,

OR

you can include both buttons in the same form and have the action for that form POST back into the same script, and at the top of that script figure out which button was pressed and redirect to the right target script.

<script language=javascript>
function doValidation(ButtonClicked){
if(ButtonClick.value == &quot;Button1&quot{
document.forms[0].action = &quot;pageforbutton1.php&quot;;
}else if(ButtonClick.value == &quot;Button2&quot{
document.forms[0].action = &quot;pageforbutton2.php&quot;;
}
document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>

<form method=post>
<input type=button name=Button1 onclick=&quot;javascript:doValidation(this.form.elements['Button1']);&quot; value=Button1><br>
<input type=button name=Button2 onclick=&quot;javascript:doValidation(this.form.elements['Button2']);&quot; value=Button2>
</form>
