How do I retrieve the name of the form that was submitted?
The name of the form is not passed with the form collection. So, if you have multiple forms pointing to the same page, you can do one of several things:
- Include the name of the form in a hidden input field within each form.
- Use different submit buttons, and check for the presence of each in the target page.
- Use a hidden element in each form that will go to the same page, this way you can determine the form that was submitted. This should be sufficient, unless you don't have control over the submitting forms. If you don't, you have to explain to the people who DO have control over them, that you need some way to distinguish their requests.
- If your forms come from different pages, use Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to determine what page the request came from. HTTP_REFERER is unreliable (see Article #2169), so I don't recommend this one too highly.
