Split Buttons event (YUI)
I'm trying to implement the split button using yui which is in following link:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/button/btn_example08.html
I'm having problems trying to figure out how to capture the event for specific item selected under the menu.
It always seems to jump to the same event.
When I test this, it always jumps to onExampleSubmit function, which doesn't seem to have a method to determine what item was selected, or differentiate between main button click, and sub menu item click.
How can I modify the following code so that it can determine which button is selected?

A few observations in relation to your question:
1. Your code is a form data collection system which POSTs data to be evaluated at the server.
2. If you change line 297 to method="get" you'll see the variables submitted to the server
3. Your splitbutton3 menu appears to be improperly used in this example. The type of menu you've created is called an overlay and is intended to be a container "to house HTML content or another YUI widget, such as a Calendar or Color Picker."
4. There is good documentation available at the link you mention in your question with a number of examples that will help you more fully utilize the YUI capabilities.

Thanks Amick,
I already changed to using a new library which seems to be easier to implement (jquery).
I'll award you the points since you're the first one to give any type of an answer.
