Re: WO form and multiple submit buttons

Hi Johann!

This is what (what you described in your mail) I did the first time.  
But when I clicked on the "search" button the directAction which was  
bound to the "search"  button did not get invoked, but I got the  
following url instead.

http://edderkopp:7100/as/WebObjects/frida.woa/wo/13.0.27.23.1.3

PS: I have multiple forms on my page.

What am I missing here?  Any comments will be appreciated
