Simple in my example above whatever your receiving script is at
/CaseRecord, normally you would call a discrete filename like:
"/CaseRecord/getfile.php", your /CaseRecord/?... works on a default
index.php, index.cgi, index.asp etc.
Notice that the submit buttons are named. Naming them means when click
the name=value part will be parsed. In this case page=Surgical#, so
simply fork on the page value will determine which submit button was
press and hence which page page you are on...

Style them whatever way you want. The advantage of NOT coding in the
1996-way

Actually it will, much better than any JavaScript method you could
cook-up because it submits at form as it was supposed to be done, with a
submit button!
