How to retrieve which link has been pressed?

How to retrieve which link has been pressed?

On my webpage I've got a couple of links (in this example two), when one of the links is pressed the Jquery will notice the click.

 

Now I need to alter my coding so that I can retrieve which of the links has been pressed and pass that information to my php script.

 

Problem is that I don't know how to retrieve which link has been pressed.. I hope someone can help me out with it..

 

My coding:

  1. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    $().ready(function(){
        $(".button").click(function() {
            var button = this;
      
            var target1 = $( 'input[name=target1]' ).val();
      var target2 = $( 'input[name=target2]' ).val();






  2.   var dataString = 'target1=' + target1 + '&target2='+target2;
            $.ajax({
                url:  'msgsrv.php',
                type: 'POST',
                dataType: 'html',
                data: dataString,
                success: function(result) {
       
       $("div.test").html(result).fadeIn(100);
        
        // $("div.test").html(result); 
       










  3.             }
            });
        });
    });


  4. </script>

  5. <div class="test"></div>
    <form name="contact">
    <span class="vId">
        <div id="target1" class="button"><span><a href="#">Click 1</a></span></div>
    </span>
    <span class="gc_Name">Bartlett-White</span>            
    <span class="vId">
        <div id="target2" class="button"><span><a href="#">Click 2</a></span></div>
    </span>
    <span class="gc_Name">Landingham Bends</span>            
      
    </form>
