Hi, Thanks for the reply.

I understand that if I used unique name/value combinations to identify
the buttons then it will work as you've described. What I was
interested in is if a default submit button doesn't have a name defined
at all, then wouldn't you still be able to differentiate at the server
end between that and another (e.g. reset) button if that did have a
name defined. I figured that the submit button wouldn't pass any data
from the button, but the reset button would, if pressed.


Thanks,

Debbie
