simple problem?

daffy 23 Jul, 2009
I want to offer my users two buttons in the middle of an article 'continue' and 'delete'.
The only way I can see to do it is to put a little form in place with two buttons, both being of type submit but one named btcontinue (value = 'A')and the other named btdelete (value= 'B'). Then send the 'action' to a php script which does a JRequest for each button name to look at the values and take action accordingly.

But this seems very clumsy.
Is there a standard way to deal with this sort of need for buttons within an article ?

I presume I can do this with chronoforms and put some data in a textbox sothat the users know hwat they are deleting.
And is chronoforms 'overkill' for this purpose.

Hi Dave,

I think you can do it the way you suggested and use onsubmit code to do your action but check for permissions first...
