How to handle multiple submits using mod_python ?

[poppor]

Hi,

if I have two submit buttons on my html page, how do I know which one is pressed when using python ?

Example:
<form action="test.py ">
<input type=submit name=add value=Add>
<input type=submit name=del value=Del>
</form>
----
def myfunction(req, var1, var2):
???

I can't find anything about this in mod_python documentation, does anyone know ?

Thanks!
/P

But there must be a way to do this in Python. Maybe a separate form for each button ? I'm going to google some more :)

Oh.. it was so simple. Here's the solution.
If you have several submit buttons, all you have to do is go by there value.
Example:

mysite.html
-------------------
<form action=myscript .py method="POST">
Button1:<input type=submit name=submitter value=1>
Button2:<input type=submit name=submitter value=2>
</form>

myscript.py
------------------
def index(req, submitter):
if submitter = 1:
s = "Button 1 is pressed"
else:
s = "Button 2 is pressed"
return s
