Two Buttons on call

In Programming there are times when, the user needs to make a choice. Once action button will move the user in one direction, another in a totally different direction. I find it easiest to offer the user two action buttons, and have the buttons call the routine for submission.

For example:

<input NAME="Submit" value="MoveNext" onClick="MoveNext();">
<input NAME="Submit" value="MovePrevious" onClick="MovePrevious();">

The onclick function triggers before the onsubmit function, which allows you to determine how to submit the choice with these javascript functions:

function MoveNext(){
with (document.frm)
{
action = 'actMoveNextPage.cfm';
submit();
}
}

function MovePrevious(){
with (document.frm)
{
action = 'actMovePreviousPage.cfm';
submit();
}
}
