jQuery Validation plugin with two submit buttons?

Question

I have one form with around 50 fields and two submit buttons, \"SAVE\" and \"SAVE & SUBMIT\". If the user clicks \"SAVE\", then validate only some values, eg. field1, fi

If you will use the same validation, maybe you should this code:

Insert an hidden action, to say the validation the method to use after we click the button

Then in your submit Handler:

submitHandler: function (form, event) {
    var action = $("#formPagoContratista #action").val();
    if (action === "action_1") {
        firstFunction();
    }else if (action === "action_2") {
        secondFunction();
    }
}
