It is possible to have 2 different submit buttons, but how different is
the data you want to submit?

You'll get the different values of the submit buttons, but that may not
be enough. Also, if it's the same form, both submit buttons will post to
the same URL.

You *could* stuff different data into the hidden fields (and maybe post
to a different URL) using JS, but it's not the most robust,
cross-everything way of doing things
