How to figure out which button was clicked

Hello I have a form which has two buttons. In the form validation (onsubmit callback), I would like to know which of the two submit buttons which both share the same name were clicked.

How can I do that using JQuery?

You can try:

$("form").submit(function() {
  if ($(this).attr("id") == "some_id") {
    // Do something ...
  }
}

Use event.target (assuming the callback's argument is called event.): http://api.jquery.com/event.target/
