I'm in a serious trouble. 

I'm using jquery validator in my application.

In one of my form there are two different button like below .

<button id="uButton" name="uButton">Update Booking</button>

<button id="sButton" name="sButton">Save Booking</button>

Whenever I clicked on any of the button my validation methods being checked and i got the for submitted.

Up to this all is ok.

But what I want is - based upon which button click i want to sent a value in one of my hidden element.

<input type="hidden" name="hiddenElement" id="hiddenElement"  value="" />

I want to set value 1 to the hiddenElement when someone clicked on the "Update Booking " Button

and I want to set value 2  to the hiddenElement  when someone clicked on the "Save Booking" Button

I have tried to use onClick event  like below -

<script type="text/javascript">

  function setOperation(opType)

{

  $("#hiddenElement").val(opType);

}

</script>

But the onclick function not called in this case (With Jquery Validator.) .

I have tried to use the submitHandler of the Validator but in the submitHandler method I can't get the buttonId which was clicked -

Can somebody please guide me how i can overcome this situation ?

Thanks in advance for your kind information and help.
