Hi,
When the browser posts the form back to the web server it only sends the value of the form elements against their respective names. That is, the following input
<input type="sometype" value="value" id="some-id" name="some-name" />
would be posted back to the server as some-name = value.
Since buttons are also posted back in the same way there is not way for Drupal know which button was pressed if they share the same name and value.

Hello, I am having two form submit buttons on a single page, somethings like this: $form['submit1'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('save'), '#submit' => array('test_submit1'),
);
[some more for elements in between] $form['submit2'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Save'), '#submit' => array('test_submit2'),
);
Now, whether I click on any of them, the submit callback of second button is called always. But if I change the value of second button or give them different '#name', everything gets back in place. They call their submit functions respectively. I did not expect such a behavior given this: http://drupal.org/node/144132#buttons Although, they both have same #value but will have different ids in the form, so Drupal has every reason to differentiate between them (or not??). Why is such thing happening? Am I missing something? -- Regards, Nitin Kumar Gupta http://publicmind.in/blog/
