Perhaps this observation has been made or discussed, but one problem with submission in HTML is the coupling of the submission address with the form rather than the submit button. We should be able to have multiple destinations for form submission, based on client-side selection. In HTML syntax the FORM action attribute should be attached to (or overridden by) an ACTION attribute on an INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT button. I suppose we can do that with javascript now, but I submit that the natural design calls for "action" to be bound to "submit". John. ______________________________________________________ John J.
