Multiple Submits in HTML Forms - Cherrypy

[Maurice LING]

Hi,

Assuming that I have this code for Cherrypy 3

class Welcome:
def index(self):
return """
<form action="btn_handler" method="POST">
<input value="Add" name="AddBtn" type="submit">
<input value="Edit" name="EditBtn" type="submit">
</form>"""
index.exposed = True

How should I write "btn_handler" so that it will perform different
actions when different button is pressed?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
maurice

Something like this would do it:

def btn_handler(self, AddBtn=None, EditBtn=None):
if AddBtn:
return "You pressed Add!"
if EditBtn:
return "You pressed Edit!"

Alternatively you could use a kwargs dictionary and test it for the
presence of the "AddBtn" or "EditBtn" keys.
