Submitting a jQuery ajax form with two submit buttons

Question

I have a form that looks like this:

Answer 1

I don't get how return false and preventDefault failed to do their job. Maybe try replacing the image buttons with linked images:

$('#vote_form > a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    //one way to know which image was clicked
    alert($(this).attr('class'));

    $.post(...
});

You can always ensure that a form does not submit by binding to the submit event, e.g.:

$('#vote_form').submit(function() {
    return false;
});
