It can be done but not in all browsers. Netscape Navigator 3+ or Internet Explorer 4+ is required, as in earlier browsers the action property is read only. Hence the quick and dirty check for the image object:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function sendForm(action,encoding) {
if (document.images) {
document.registerForm.action = action;
document.registerForm.encoding = encoding;
}
return true;
}
//--></script>
<form name="registerForm">
<input type="text" name="myText" value="some text">
<input type="submit" value="Submit1" onClick="sendForm('/cgi-bin/userform.cgi','text/plain')">
<input type="submit" value="Submit2" onClick="sendForm('mailto:someone@somewhere.com','text/plain')">
</FORM>
