I am trying to have two different submit buttons. If one submit button is pressed then it goes to one cgi script and if the other is pressed it goes to another. Right now below is my code but it isn’t working as I want it to. They both only go to the same script regardless of which one is pressed.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import cgi
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
keyword = form.getvalue('keyword')
keyset = set(x.strip() for x in open('keywords.txt', 'r'))


print 'Content-type: text/html\r\n\r'
print '<html>'
print "Set = ", keyset
print '<h1>If your keyword is in the set, use this submission button to retrieve recent tweets</h1>'
print '<form action="results.cgi" method="post">'
print 'Keyword: <input type="text" name="keyword">  <br />'
print '<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit1" />'
print '</html>'

print 'Content-type: text/html\r\n\r'
print '<html>'
print '<h1>If your desired keyword is not in the set, use this submission button to add it</h1>'
print '<form action="inlist.cgi" method="post">'
print 'Keyword: <input type="text" name="keyword">  <br />'
print '<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit2" />'
print '</html>'

    One solution is to have the form post to an intermediary script that decides which script to run based on which submit button was clicked.

    So if the value for Submit1 was provided, run script A. If the value for Submit2 was provided, run script B.
