    You could pass the value to which you want to set the hidden input to a function you create:

    function handleClick(val){
        document.getElementById('HiddenInputID').value = val;
        return true;
    }
    

    and then code the buttons using the onclick to pass whichever value you'd like:

    <input type="submit" name="Name1" value="Value 1" onclick="return handleClick('Value 1')"/>
    <input type="submit" name="Name2" value="Value 2" onclick="return handleClick('Value 2')"/>

    use Prototype :-)

    But in all seriousness:

    1. Add an id to the hidden field
    2. Before you submit the form in each handler:

      document.getElementById("hiddenId").value = "mySpecialValue";

      //or (depending on which onclick handler you are in)

      document.getElementById("hiddenId").value = "myOtherSpecialValue";

    3. Submit the form the same way you are now.

    Recommended ex:

    <input id="buttonA" type="button" value="do something" onclick="buttonA_clickHandler(event);"/>

    ...

    function buttonA_clickHandler(event) {
        document.getElementById('hiddenId').value = whatever;
        document.getElementById('theForm').submit();
    }
    

    repeat for the other button.

    Assuming you've got your hidden field setup something like so:

    <input type="hidden" name="clicked_button" id="clicked_button" value=""/>
    

    You could just set its value in a common onclick handler for your buttons:

    function buttonClick(theButton){
        document.getElementById('clicked_button').value = theButton.name;
        return true;
    }
    

    And then your submit buttons would be:

    <input type="submit" name="save" value="Save" onclick="return buttonClick(this)"/>
    <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" onclick="return buttonClick(this)"/>

    1. Forgive me if the answer to this seems obvious, but why use a hidden field at all? <input type="submit" value="..." /> already works; browsers will send the value of the submit button that was clicked, along with the rest of the form data.

    2. The <button type="submit" name="..." value="...">...</button> element works perfectly in Chrome/Safari/Firefox, but fails in IE7 (as Lèse majesté pointed out in his comment above); if you don't care about IE, that'd be the way to go.

    3. You could also use an <input type="image" /> element, just remember that the browser submits it as two fields: name.x and name.y. Also, you can't set its value, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're only interested in the presence of the field.
