on submit form get trigger

Question

In js, I need to use :

$('.grid').on('submit','form', function (ev) {}

because i need to validate a html5 element into the form.

My problem is:

I have 2 submit button with 2 kind of "data". I need to get the trigger for using:

 if(typeof [trigger].data('save') != 'undefined'){
 }

it is the part of my current JS:

$('.grid').on('submit','form', function (ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
console.log(typeof $(this).data('save') );
if(typeof $(this).data('save') != 'undefined' && jQuery("form")[0].checkValidity()){
 // do something
 }
});

$(this) refere to the form element. I need that find the submit triggered button (not twice and not other submit button)

thanks

• Satpal: Have you tried $(ev.target).data('save')?

Answer 1

You should use event.target

The DOM element that initiated the event.

Change code to

 if(typeof $(ev.target).data('save') != 'undefined'){
 }
