Misusing the reset-button into submission

Misusing the reset-button into submission is fun

<form onreset='this.submit()'>

is enough.

Changing the action-url is easy:

<form
onreset='this.action="another.html";this.submit()'
>

However detecting which button was pressed
takes some more action:

===============
<script type='text/javascript'>
function which(t) {
t.form.whichButton.value=t.value;
};
</script>

<form
onsubmit='this.action="a.html";'
onreset='this.action="b.html";this.submit()'
>
<input name='z'>
<input type='submit' value='submit 1 to a' onclick='which(this);'>
<input type='submit' value='submit 2 to a' onclick='which(this);'>
<input type='reset' value='submit 1 to b' onclick='which(this);'>
<input type='reset' value='submit 2 to b' onclick='which(this);'>
<input type='hidden' name='whichButton'>
</form>
===============

But what's the point of messings things up in a difficult way, when it
can be done so easily? No reason to rely on JavaScript being enabled
when you can confuse *everyone* (except source code peekers).

<input type=submit name=Cancel>
<input type=reset name=Submit>
