Using Multiple Submit Buttons with Select Case

It is common to have a Web page that calls itself. On this page, you may want to have many buttons that will each produce a different call. An example is a page that allows you to navigate, add, edit, or delete a record/recordset. You can accomplish this by appending special commands to the URL, exposing some implementation details. However, it is also possible to do this through a Post method. When a form has multiple submit buttons all with the same name, the value of the button will be returned via a Post method. You can then use this value to determine your action.

 
<%Select Case Request.Form("SUBMIT")	Case "Move First"		Response.Write "
Do Move First"	Case "Move Previous"		Response.Write "
Do Move Previous"	Case "Move Next"		Response.Write "
Do Move Next"	Case "Move Last"		Response.Write "
Do Move Last"	Case "Add"		Response.Write "
Do Add"	Case "Edit"		Response.Write "
Do Edit"	Case "Delete"		Response.Write "
Do Delete"	Case Else		Response.Write "
Invalid Action"End Select%>
