You could also FUSEBOXIFY the form and bury the form name in .DSP and .QRY files
nested 8-10 levels deep amd call its FUSEACTION.... ;-)
Seriously, if you have several forms, why not add a hidden form field in each
form with the name of the form as the value? Then your action page could look at
the one hidden field, grab its value and then know what form was submitted?
Hope this helps.

You will then need to send additional information within the form itself.
Alternatively, you could simply build a single form, and simply respond to
the form variables you receive within your action page.

No, that isn't passed to the server when the form is submitted.

What if you give the submit buttons unique names. That way you can check
which form you are processing by the name of the submit button that was
pressed.

Ok, but it is precisely what I'm looking a simpler solution for.

Sure, but a template can contain several forms which all call the same template,
even if only one is submitted.
My question is then to detect the one that fired the template.

Claude,
Since only one form can post per request it is presumed that you will know
because of the form's linkage to the ACTION.
If you are using one uber ACTION handler then create a hidden INPUT that
contains the name of the form. This can lead to problems though and it not
the better choice. If your uber ACTION handler is handling so much stuff
that such a thing matters then you should consider breaking it out into
multiple templates.

Hi,
Any one knows if it is possible to retreive the form name from the template
fired by a form?

<cfif isDefined('form.submit')>

<script>
function checkForm(theForm) {
document.forms[theForm.name].theFormsName.value=theForm.name;

checkForm(this)">
<input type="hidden" name="theFormsName" value="">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

not via CF. you'd need to put it in a hidden form field.
