Its easy you can code like i did

Code: 

<html>
   <head>
      <script language="javascript">         
         function checkBtn(event) {
               alert(event.target.name);
         }
      </script>


   </head>
   <body>
      <br /><br />
      <form action="multiSubmit.php" method="post" onSubmit="return false;">
         <input type="submit" name="quest" id="quest" value="quest" onClick="checkBtn(event)" /><br />
         <input type="submit" name="answer" id="answer" value="answer" onClick="checkBtn(event)" /><br />

Code should look like below

<script language="javascript">         
   function checkBtn(event) {
         alert(event.target.name);
     }
</script>

Add a onClick="checkBtn(event)" to your every Button. Else you can add a onsubmit to your form like this onSubmit="checkBtn(event)"

  • within the checkBtn function you can write whatever you want and submit the correct form as you want – Techie Feb 07 '13 at 07:50
