Value of submit button clicked

Question

This should be really straight forward.

I\'m checking if a form is being submitted using jquery. The form has multiple submit buttons with various values:

Answer 1

Bind the event to submit buttons instead of the form and then $(this) would have the reference to the buttons...

$(":submit").live('click', function() {
    alert($(this).val());
})

EDIT As of jQuery 1.7 live is deprecated. Use on instead.

$(document).on("click", ":submit", function(e){
    alert($(this).val());
});
