I think it does, so please post your code and output which shows 
otherwise.

Especially show the value of cgi.params['submit'].inspect

This assumes you have <input type="submit" name="submit" value="foo"> in 
your HTML.

In both cases, the data is POSTed back to your CGI. It is up to you to 
take the appropriate action depending on which submit button was 
pressed. In one case you will re-display the data entry form, containing 
the already-entered data plus a new blank row. In the second case you 
perform whatever action you were normally taking on the submit.
