[thelist] How do I submit a single form thru either of two links using JavaScript AND pass a hidden value depending on the link?

[Ivo P]

Thanks for the replies people. Turns out it was a lot simpler than I
initally thought, a very simple JavaScript fn took care of the hidden
field as I had initially thought:

The two submit buttons isnt an option, the look-n-feel drafted by the
designer doesnt take into account buttons. No worries tho, the client
controls the browsers where this app will eventually be deployed so
having JS enabled is guaranteed.

Thanks!
