Posting a single form with multiple buttons in a Sitecore page. Is it possible?

Question

Anyone know if it is possible to post a single form with multiple buttons and each button post to a different controller action in Sitecore? On my scenario I have a controller which has 3 actions:

1- load of the page

2- httppost from button A

3- httppost from button B

I'm using an using (Html.BeginForm()) to declare my form and I'm declaring the buttons like this:

<button type="Submit" id="btn" formaction="MyFormActionA"  formmethod="POST" class="btn btn-large">
<button type="Submit" id="btn" formaction="MyFormActionB"  formmethod="POST" class="btn btn-large">

The problem with this approach is that it posts to a different url and doesn't really work. I know that there are ways around that by setting the form action using javascript and things like that. What I'm wondering is whether it is possible to achieve that using this approach or a similar approach where one can post to different actions withing the same form. As far as I understand it is possible to do this with ASP.NET MVC but not sure on Sitecore.

Using the approach described on the question doesn't seem to work. The best I found was mentioned by Anton's link which is essentially is have two html buttons with the same name and specify a specific value for each of them. On the post you can capture what the value is for that element and determine what button is triggering the post and add custom logic based on which button is triggering the post.
