More than one submit button in the same form

you cannot submit the same form to a different page based on the submit button, but you can submit the form to the same page and then detect which submit button was pressed

that's not 100% true. you can have one submit button change the action of the form using javascript.
something like
<input type = "submit" value = "go to different page" name = "submit" onclick = "document.forms[0].action = 'someotherpage.cfm'">
that isn't tested but i'm pretty sure that would work, or something like it.
with that said, i think i've only done it once because depending on which button was pressed it would go to a different output page that required the form variables. it was easier than using one page wrapped in cfif's.
If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.

yeah, probably possible, but a very very bad idea
nothing like that should rely on javascript
plenty on non-javascript browsers around, you know

I agree, i used it in a controled environment. IE only intranet. in that case it isn't such a bad idea.
