Which event is triggered when user clicks on form?
The submit event fires when the user clicks a submit button ( or ) or presses Enter while editing a field (e.g. ) in a form. The event is not sent to the form when calling the form. submit() method directly.
The preferred technique for submitting forms is with the use of the input[type=”submit”] form control.
Is it possible to detect which submit button triggered form submission?
Is it possible to detect which submit button was presed, from within the onsubmit handler for the form, or would I need to apply onclick handlers for each button, and submit the form as part of the function? Yeah, that’s what I ended up doing.
This basically adds a ‘submitter’ property onto the form element object that can be referenced later on form submit. I searched and found several ways to get the submit button name + value sent to the server using jQuery + AJAX. I didn’t like them very much… One of the bests was hunter’s solution presented here! But I wrote another one myself.
How to determine which submit button was pressed?
But what you can do is add click handlers to each submit which will inform the submit handler as to which was clicked. …alternatively you catch the clicks as they bubble, by adding an onclick handler to the form itself, that checks if the clicked element was a submit button; this might be simpler in some cases.
