What is the best way to have an HTML form with two submit buttons and have them both do two different functions without using inline JavaScript? I can use Jquery so doing $('#id').submit(function (event) {}); would be fine. Thanks.

what is the issue? it seems like you already answered yourself. just use jquery for it and have different identifiers for each submit button – Ben Yitzhaki Jun 22 '17 at 17:02

you don't even need forms. You can use click functions if you are planning to use ajax – Grasper Jun 22 '17 at 17:03

Don't make them <input type="submit">, make them <input type="button">.
If you are doing a basic HTTP POST, then add a click event that will
- change the
actionon the form - call
submit()on the form.
If you're submitting via Ajax, the click events will just manage the $.post() process for each button.

If you are posting the form data to the next page you could detect which button is clicked on, and assign a value to each button such as "button 1" value=1 and "button 2" value= 2. Then execute different functions on the page based on which button is clicked. Here is a similar question:
How do I use two submit buttons, and differentiate between which one was used to submit the form?
