Answer 1

// add the button to the form data
var btn = jQuery('button[name=mybuttonname]').attr('value');
data += '&yourpostname=' + btn;

var ajax = jQuery.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: 'POST',
    data: data,
    statusCode: {
        404: function () {
            alert("page not found");
        }
    }
});
