    All HTML controls are identified by there name. In a single page you can press only one button at a time


    for eg..

    <input type="submit" name="add" value="Add">
<input type="submit" name="edit" value="Edit">
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete">
    Code (markup):

    In the above example all the three buttons have the type as submit but
    the individual buttons are identified by there names

    if you are using php, then php captures all form controls in super global arrays
    ii.e $_POST or $_GET depending upon the method used to post the form.
    you can print the arrays with 

    print_r($_GET);
    PHP:
    or 
    print_r($_POST);
    PHP:
    to check what all controls have been passed through the forms


    hope this would help you

    Well the thing that i want is.

    I have 3 buttons with ids b1,b2,b3

    <form name='form1' action='abc.jsp'>
    <input type='Submit' value='b1' id='b1'/>
    <input type='Submit' value='b2' id='b2'/>
    <input type='Submit' value='b3' id='b3'/>

    </form>
