Determine which element submitted a form from within onsubmit

Question

Is there a way to determine which element submitted a form from within an onsubmit handler? Trying to write a generic handler that knows which element was clicked. For examp

Answer 1

An alternative solution would be to move the event trigger from the form's submit event, to the submit element's onclick event, as such:

In your handler function you can determine the submitting element simply by inspecting the event target's name, and if you need access to the form's information or other elements, you can get this from the submit elements "form" attribute.
