Include more than one SUBMIT button on a form

When this <br />form is submitted, your iteration through the values in the REQUEST. Form collection will produce one value, depending on which button was used to submit the form. If the user clicks the Previous button, he'll get just :<br /><br />btnSubmit = Previous<br /><br />Therefore, he can query the Request.Form collection to decide which page to display next, for example :<br /><br />Select Case Request.Form("btnSubmit")<br /><br /> Case "Next"<br /> Response.Redirect "page_3.asp"<br /><br /> Case "Previous"<br /> Response.Redirect "page_1.asp"<br /><br /> Case "Cancel"<br /> Response.Redirect "main_menu.asp"<br /><br />End Select<br /><br />
