title: How can I invoke multiple actions from a single form?
body: <p>I have a jsp file in which I have a form.  It shows data about an "account" data structure we have.  There's a button to remove the data from that data structure.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form action="removeThisData.html" method="post"&gt;
    ... blah blah blah ...
    &lt;input type="submit" value="Remove"/&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, there's a component that I want to be editable.  Basically, I want that third blah to be turned into a date.  Here's what I wish I could do.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form action="removeThisData.html" method="post"&gt;
    ... blah blah blah ...
    &lt;input type="submit" value="Change blah to date"/&gt;
    &lt;input type="submit" value="Remove"/&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, that button just acts upon the form action, which invokes the functionality mapped to "removeThisData.html".</p>
  
  <p>How can I get two different behaviors from the same form?  Is the invocation of multiple actions even possible within the same form?  If it is not, is there a way to preserve all the information within a single scope or do I have to repeat the data/information in two different forms?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
