Answer 1

Following is what I think would be a more comprehensive example of how to accomplish what you asked. You should replace the "#your-form" with your id form and replace "Button One" & "Button Two" with the values on your form buttons.

$(document).ready(function() {
  var target = null;
  $('#your-form-id :input').focus(function() {
    target = $(this).val();
  });
  $('#your-form-id').submit(function() {

    if (target == 'Button One') {
      alert (target);
    }
    else if (target == 'Button Two') {
      alert (target);
    }
  });
});

Answer 2

This will catch whichever input element initiated the submit:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var target = null;
    $('#form :input').focus(function() {
        target = this;
        alert(target);
    });
    $('#form').submit(function() {
        alert(target);
    });
});
