Retrieve button value

If I have the following:

------------------------------------------
<form onSubmit="checkButton()" action="/cgi" method="post" name="myForm">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Do This">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Do That">
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Do More">
</form>
------------------------------------------

Then how do I retrieve which button was clicked? It is easy enough in
the cgi, but in JavaScript?

form onSubmit="checkButton()" action="/cgi" method="post" name="myForm"
input type="submit" name="action" value="Do This" onclick='whois(this)'
input type="submit" name="action" value="Do That" onclick='whois(this)'
input type="submit" name="action" value="Do More" onclick='whois(this)'
/form

function whois(obj)
{
alert(obj.value);
}

it is what you want .?

OK, that would work.

It's funny that the CGI only gets the one value, yet at the form level
the button "action" is an array.

Thanks.
