jQuery: how to get which button was clicked upon f

2018-12-31 17:38发布

I have a .submit() event set up for form submission. I also have multiple forms on the page, but just one here for this example. I'd like to know which submit button was clicked without applying a .click() event to each one.

Here's the setup:

<html>
<head>
  <title>jQuery research: forms</title>
  <script type='text/javascript' src='../jquery-1.5.2.min.js'></script>
  <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>
      $(document).ready(function(){
          $('form[name="testform"]').submit( function(event){ process_form_submission(event); } );
      });
      function process_form_submission( event ) {
          event.preventDefault();
          //var target = $(event.target);
          var me = event.currentTarget;
          var data = me.data.value;
          var which_button = '?';       // <-- this is what I want to know
          alert( 'data: ' + data + ', button: ' + which_button );
      }
  </script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Here's my form:</h2>
<form action='nothing' method='post' name='testform'>
  <input type='hidden' name='data' value='blahdatayadda' />
  <input type='submit' name='name1' value='value1' />
  <input type='submit' name='name2' value='value2' />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Live example on jsfiddle

Besides applying a .click() event on each button, is there a way to determine which submit button was clicked?

Similar to Stan answer but :

  • if you have more than one button, you have to get only the first button => [0]
  • if the form can be submitted with the enter key, you have to manage a default => myDefaultButtonId

$(document).on('submit', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var pressedButtonId = 
         typeof $(":input[type=submit]:focus")[0] === "undefined" ? 
         "myDefaultButtonId" :
         $(":input[type=submit]:focus")[0].id;
    ...
 }

You can create input type="hidden" as holder for a button id information.

<input type="hidden" name="button" id="button">
<input type="submit" onClick="document.form_name.button.value = 1;" value="Do something" name="do_something">

In this case form passes value "1" (id of your button) on submit. This works if onClick occurs before submit (?), what I am not sure if it is always true.

For me, the best solutions was this:

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

   // Get the button that was clicked       
   var submit = $(this.id).context.activeElement;

   // You can get its name like this
   alert(submit.name)

   // You can get its attributes like this too
   alert($(submit).attr('class'))

});

Here's the approach that seems cleaner for my purposes.

First, for any and all forms:

$('form').click(function(event) {
  $(this).data('clicked',$(event.target))
});

When this click event is fired for a form, it simply records the originating target (available in the event object) to be accessed later. This is a pretty broad stroke, as it will fire for any click anywhere on the form. Optimization comments are welcome, but I suspect it will never cause noticeable issues.

Then, in $('form').submit(), you can inquire what was last clicked, with something like

if ($(this).data('clicked').is('[name=no_ajax]')) xhr.abort();

Here is a sample, that uses this.form to get the correct form the submit is into, and data fields to store the last clicked/focused element. I also wrapped submit code inside a timeout to be sure click events happen before it is executed (some users reported in comments that on Chrome sometimes a click event is fired after a submit).

Works when navigating both with keys and with mouse/fingers without counting on browsers to send a click event on RETURN key (doesn't hurt though), I added an event handler for focus events for buttons and fields.

You might add buttons of type="submit" to the items that save themselves when clicked.

In the demo I set a red border to show the selected item and an alert that shows name and value/label.

Here is the FIDDLE

And here is the (same) code:

Javascript:

$("form").submit(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  // Use this for rare/buggy cases when click event is sent after submit
  setTimeout(function() {

    var $this=$(this);
    var lastFocus = $this.data("lastFocus");
    var $defaultSubmit=null;

    if(lastFocus) $defaultSubmit=$(lastFocus);

    if(!$defaultSubmit || !$defaultSubmit.is("input[type=submit]")) {
      // If for some reason we don't have a submit, find one (the first)
      $defaultSubmit=$(this).find("input[type=submit]").first();
    }

    if($defaultSubmit) {
      var submitName=$defaultSubmit.attr("name");
      var submitLabel=$defaultSubmit.val();

       // Just a demo, set hilite and alert
      doSomethingWith($defaultSubmit);
      setTimeout(function() {alert("Submitted "+submitName+": '"+submitLabel+"'")},1000);
    } else {
      // There were no submit in the form
    }

  }.bind(this),0);

});

$("form input").focus(function() {
  $(this.form).data("lastFocus", this);
});
$("form input").click(function() {
  $(this.form).data("lastFocus", this);
});

// Just a demo, setting hilite
function doSomethingWith($aSelectedEl) {
  $aSelectedEl.css({"border":"4px solid red"});
  setTimeout(function() { $aSelectedEl.removeAttr("style"); },1000);
}

DUMMY HTML:

<form>
<input type="text" name="testtextortexttest" value="Whatever you write, sir."/>
<input type="text" name="moretesttextormoretexttest" value="Whatever you write, again, sir."/>

<input type="submit" name="test1" value="Action 1"/>
<input type="submit" name="test2" value="Action 2"/>
<input type="submit" name="test3" value="Action 3"/>
<input type="submit" name="test4" value="Action 4"/>
<input type="submit" name="test5" value="Action 5"/>
</form>

DUMB CSS:

input {display:block}

Another possible solution is to add a hidden field in your form:

<input type="hidden" id="btaction"/>

Then in the ready function add functions to record what key was pressed:

$('form#myForm #btnSubmit').click(function() {
    $('form#myForm #btaction').val(0);
});

$('form#myForm #btnSubmitAndSend').click(function() {
    $('form#myForm #btaction').val(1);
});

$('form#myForm #btnDelete').click(function() {
    $('form#myForm #btaction').val(2);
});

Now in the form submition handler read the hidden variable and decide based on it:

var act = $('form#myForm #btaction').val();
