No need for a flag; two submit buttons with separate names and
values, as in:

<form method="get" action="whatever.jsp">
   <input type="text" name="foo" value="bar"/>

   <input type="submit" value="Do A" name="submissionChoiceA">
   <input type="submit" value="Do B" name="submissionChoiceB">

</form>

The clicked button value will be one of the passed parameters.

No JavaScript required...

HTH!
