Multiple buttons for same action page

Question

I have a cfform with an action page.
I have two buttons at the bottom with different labels, like
button 1 and button 2, that call this action page to insert data.
After the insert, the page needs to be redirected page 1 if button
1 was selected, and redirected to page 2 if button 2 was selected.
How can I separate the two so that they go to different forms
I tried passing a variable in the cfform action, but it
applies to both buttons, thus both go to the same place, and I
cannot seem to separate.

as far as i can see, returnStatus is not a function, so what
is
returnStatus(true) ???
change that line instead to
else {return false;

you only need to call your validateForm function either from
the <from>
tag OR your submit buttons, not both.
and the function call in the form tag is incorrect - a) the
function
name is spelt wrong and b) it does not pass required argument
to the
function. change that to onSubmit="return
validateForm(document.pack_slip_form)" and remove the onCLick
events
from your buttons
