[development] Changing button #name?

[Lee Rowlands]

Hi Richard
Are you using '#tree' => TRUE?
If so, you can access $form_state['clicked_button']['parents'] which will be
an array of the keys of the parent elements. If each row in your table is
built as follows:
$form['rows'][$row_id]['field1'] = array(...),
$form['rows'][$row_id]['field2'] = array(...) etc and you are rendering this
as a table using a theme function and element_children to determine the
valid values of $row_id (is there any other way?) then your
['clicked_button']['parents'] will contain an array including the final op
but also the 'parent' $row_id, this can tell you which button was pressed.
Have a look at the quicktabs module for an example.

I know that by default they are all named 'op'. This is my problem; I cannot
distinguish the buttons by their '#value', because it is always the same.
I'm solving this by setting the '#name' to allow me to determine precisely
which button was clicked. If I don't set '#name', then *regardless* of which
button I press, the 'clicked_button' structure in the $form_state
corresponds to the last button of the same '#value' added to the form. Part
of the awkwardness here is that HTML doesn't allow you to display some text
in a button while having a different value.
