multiple submit buttons w/in a form

[cic]

i have created a form were our consumers can only purchase one book at a time (required by my company).

i have added a submit button for each book, passing the same info for each book, price, title, and quantity. when i click on one of the buttons it is passing all the books over instead of one book at a time.

is there a way of fixing this without creating a new form for each submit button.

thx

Do this:
<script>
<!--
function update_book(bprice,btitle,bquantity){
document.the_form.book_price.value=bprice;
document.the_form.book_title.value=btitle;
document.the_form.book_quantity.value=bquantity;
document.the_form.submit();
}
//-->
</script>

<form name=&quot;the_form&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;book_name&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;book_price&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;book_quantity&quot;>

book 1: <input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;update_book('$1.00','the name',25,);&quot;>
book 2: <input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;update_book('$2.00','another name',24,);&quot;>
book 3: <input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;update_book('$3.00','that name',23,);&quot;>
book 4: <input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;update_book('$4.00','this name',22,);&quot;>
</form>

Here's a non-javascript way:

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Buy Book X&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Buy Book Y&quot;>

In the code that handles the form, you'll recieve one of two parameters:

button=Buy Book X
-or-
button=Buy Book Y

depending on which button was pressed. Then in your handling code you can do whatever you need based on which button was pressed.
