Here is some of the form I have, with 3 submit buttons

<input type="image" name="submit" value="saveasset" class="submit" src="<?=BASE_URL . '/' . IMAGE_URL . '/buttons/btn_save_changes.gif'?>" />
<input type="image" name="submit" value="savetemplate" onclick="saveTemplate(); return false;" class="add_new_link" src="<?=BASE_URL . '/' . IMAGE_URL . '/buttons/btn_new_template.gif'?>"/>
<input type="image" name="submit" value="updatetemplate" onclick="saveTemplate(); return false;" class="add_new_link" src="<?=BASE_URL . '/' . IMAGE_URL . '/buttons/btn_update_template.gif'?>"/>

When I click the first one, it correctly submits ‘saveasset’ to the action function.
When I click the second one, it submits ‘updatetemplate’ to the action function (via AJAX), even though the button clicked is ‘savetemplate’.
When I click the third one, it correctly submits ‘updatetemplate’ to the action function (via AJAX).

This is the saveTemplate() function (uses prototype)

function saveTemplate(){
    $('add_asset').request({
        onComplete: function (response) {
            $('message_inline').show();
            $('message_inline').update(response.responseText);
        }
    });
}

If I only have 2 buttons everything works as I would expect, but I need 3.

    You can try passing in a value to your saveTemplate() function, and tell the function to behave differently depending on the value passed in.

    <input type="image" name="submit" value="savetemplate" onclick="saveTemplate('savetemplate'); return false;" class="add_new_link" src="<?=BASE_URL . '/' . IMAGE_URL . '/buttons/btn_new_template.gif'?>"/>
<input type="image" name="submit" value="updatetemplate" onclick="saveTemplate('updatetemplate'); return false;" class="add_new_link" src="<?=BASE_URL . '/' . IMAGE_URL . '/buttons/btn_update_template.gif'?>"/>
