-### buttonProps
+### Multiple submit buttons
 
-By default, submitting a form will send a request to the URL indicated by the `<form>` element's [`action`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/form#attributes_for_form_submission) attribute, which in the case of a remote function is a property on the form object generated by SvelteKit.
+It's possible for a `<form>` to have multiple submit buttons. For example, you might have a single form that allows you to log in or register depending on which button was clicked.
 
-It's possible for a `<button>` inside the `<form>` to send the request to a _different_ URL, using the [`formaction`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/button#formaction) attribute. For example, you might have a single form that allows you to log in or register depending on which button was clicked.
-
-This attribute exists on the `buttonProps` property of a form object:
+To accomplish this, add a field to your schema for the button value, and use `as('submit', value)` to bind it:
 
 ```svelte
 <!--- file: src/routes/login/+page.svelte --->
 <script>
-	import { login, register } from '$lib/auth.remote';
+	import { loginOrRegister } from '$lib/auth';
 </script>
 
-<form {...login}>
+<form {...loginOrRegister}>
 	<label>
 		Your username
-		<input {...login.fields.username.as('text')} />
+		<input {...loginOrRegister.fields.username.as('text')} />
 	</label>
 
 	<label>
 		Your password
-		<input {...login.fields._password.as('password')} />
+		<input {...loginOrRegister.fields._password.as('password')} />
 	</label>
 
-	<button>login</button>
-	<button {...register.buttonProps}>register</button>
+	<button {...loginOrRegister.fields.action.as('submit', 'login')}>login</button>
+	<button {...loginOrRegister.fields.action.as('submit', 'register')}>register</button>
 </form>
 ```
 
-Like the form object itself, `buttonProps` has an `enhance` method for customizing submission behaviour.
+In your form handler, you can check which button was clicked:
+
+```js
+/// file: $lib/auth.js
+import * as v from 'valibot';
+import { form } from '$app/server';
+
+export const loginOrRegister = form(
+	v.object({
+		username: v.string(),
+		_password: v.string(),
+		action: v.picklist(['login', 'register'])
+	}),
+	async ({ username, _password, action }) => {
+		if (action === 'login') {
+			// handle login
+		} else {
+			// handle registration
+		}
+	}
+);
+```
