Re: Passing values between elements

Turn on multiple submit for the WOForm.

You make the default action a simple refresh, and bind a different  
action to your "do it" submit button.  The default form action will  
be the first button in the html (a form binding doesn't seem to have  
the same effect).  You can use a 0x0 image submit button if this is  
inconvenient.
  for your layout.
