    Depends on your implementation, and if it’s ajax..

    If ajax, you want to make a note of the fact it’s an update somewhere.. perhaps a form element that says so?

    <input type="hidden" id="formUpdate" value="0" />
    

    and on the first submit

    document.getElementById('formUpdate').value = 1; // and on the submit, check if it's 0 or 1
    

    If posting to the server, you can include the in the code so when the form is submitted again, you can access $_REQUEST[‘formUpdate’] (such as with php, anyway) ..

    hope that helps ya
