multiple button determine which is clicked

Question

Hello,

I have multiple buttons in a form (all are type 'submit'). I would like to determine which one of them is clicked. I am currently using:

$(".MyForm").click(function() {
    ...
}

to get values from my form. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Inside your handler, 'this' is the DOM element that was clicked, and $(this) is the jQuery object for that DOM element. So...

$(".MyForm").click(function() {
  var buttonId = $(this).attr('id');
  //...
}

Answer 2

You define an id for each button then you can use $("#buttonid").click to define different action for each button you like or test the id with .attr('id')
