Answer 1

I believe you can't do that but you can use a hidden field

<input type="hidden" name="any_name" value="any_value" />

Answer 2

Try this:

Java Script Code:

<script type='text/javascript'>
        $(function(){
            $('#form').submit(function(e){
                e.preventDefault();
                var submitData = $('#form').serialize();
                var btnName = $('#submit').attr('name');
                var btnVal = $('#submit').val();
                var btn = '&'+btnName+'='+btnVal;
                submitData += btn;
                alert(submitData);                

            }); 
        }); 
</script>

HTML Code:

<form action="" id="form" type='post'>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value='Scott'/>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value='POST'/>
</form>

or use:

var submitData = $('#buy_product').serialize();
submitData += '&btnName=' +  $('#your_submitbtn_id').attr('name') + '&btnValue='+ $('##your_submitbtn_id').attr('value');
