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 have the below two buttons:

You can validate and submit based on the two buttons: Save sends with ajax and no reload. Next button saves and redirects to next page.

$('form').validate({
            submitHandler: function(form, e) {
              var button = $(":focus", this);

              var name = button.context.submitButton.defaultValue;
              console.log(name);
              if(name == "Save"){
                $(form).ajaxSubmit();
              }else{
                form.submit();
              }
            }
          });
