Html.BeginForm handling Multiple buttons and Javascript validation

Question

I am using Html.BeginForm and I have one submit and one Save as draft button both of type "Submit". I need to call Javascript validation on submit function but not for save as draft.

using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" , onsubmit = "javascript:return ValidateOnSubmit()" }))

How do I identify which button is clicked to validate only for submit?

But I want to do the validation on client side before I hit the controller. So I need to figure out which button has been clicked. — user3064309, Aug 05 '19 at 10:25
As mentioned in one of the answers in above link, you can check for **value** attribute on button and then perform validation accordingly. — Azhar Hussain, Aug 05 '19 at 10:50
