CFHEADER & CFCONTENT to dowload a file

Question

Hello everybody,
There are two buttons on my page and depending on which is clicked the code chooses to download either Report_1 or Report_2:
<cfif Form.i_hdn_rpt_1 GT 0>
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=rpt_1.csv">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/csv">rpt_1,1,1<cfabort>
</cfif>
<cfif Form.i_hdn_rpt_2 GT 0>
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=rpt_2.csv">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/csv">rpt_2,2,2<cfabort>
</cfif>
Now what's happening. Say, I click Report_2. It offers (as expected) to download the file rpt_2.csv. Then if I click Report_1 it downloads rpt_1.csv. So far so good. But after this regardless of what is clicked (Report_1 or Report_2) it downloads rpt_1.csv only.
If I begin with Report_1 then no way can I force to download rpt_2.csv.
Could anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi BKBK,
Thanks for your response. Here is the simplified code of the form along with the JS function which assigns values to the hidden vars.
function set_hidden(inHdnVarID)
  var oHdn = document.getElementById(inHdnVarID);
  oHdn.value = 1;
<cfform name="myFrm" id="myFrm" action="RptPage.cfm" method="post">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>
        <input type="submit" name="sbtn_submit" id="sbtn_submit" value="rpt_1" onclick="set_hidden('i_hdn_rpt_1'); return false">
      </td>
      <td>
        <input type="submit" name="sbtn_submit" id="sbtn_submit" value="rpt_2" onclick="set_hidden('i_hdn_rpt_2'); return false">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <input type="hidden" name="i_hdn_rpt_1" id="i_hdn_rpt_1">
  <input type="hidden" name="i_hdn_rpt_2" id="i_hdn_rpt_2">
</cfform>
There is another thing I've noticed. If I change the sequence of the pieces in CF code so that the report_2 comes first then it's the report_2 which gets dowloaded regardless of what button is clicked:
<cfif Form.i_hdn_rpt_2 GT 0>
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=rpt_2.csv">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/csv">rpt_2,2,2<cfabort>
</cfif>
<cfif Form.i_hdn_rpt_1 GT 0>
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=rpt_1.csv">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/csv">rpt_1,1,1<cfabort>
</cfif>
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Alex
