You don't need JavaScript for this.

<input type="submit" name="action" value="Insert">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Delete">

Only the successful (i.e. clicked upon) control is submitted.

You haven't shown us your JavaScript code, but
document.form['formId'].elements['action'] should work fine. Although,
as I said, you don't need to do this.
