How can I get the button that caused the submit fr

Question

I'm trying to find the value of the submit button that triggered the form to submit

$("form").submit(function() {

});

I could possibly fire a $("input[type=submit]").click() event for each button and set some variable, but that seems less elegant than some how pulling the button off of the the form on submit.

I created a test form and using Firebug found this way to get the value;

$('form').submit(function(event){
  alert(event.originalEvent.explicitOriginalTarget.value);
}); 

Unfortunately, only Firefox supports this event.
