How to find element which caused event because of jquery .live

in Using jQuery • 10 years ago

How can I find ID of the element which caused an event as a consequence of .live (jQuery method) ?

The following is an example :

$("form[data-f=true]").live("submit", function (evt) { /* If I have <input type="submit" name="Submit1" data-f="true" /> and this button is clicked, then I want to know it's Submit1 button. */ });

I tried evt.target but it returns information about the form not about the button which was clicked.

Many thanks

For that you have to target the submit buttons and you have to use a click event. As of jQuery 1.7 .live is deprecated in favor of .on:

$( selector ).live( events, handler ); //1.3+

$( document ).on( events, selector, handler ); //1.7+

$(function() {
  $(document).on('click','#myForm input[type=submit]',function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  console.log( e.target.id );
  console.log( this.id );
  console.log( $(this).attr( 'id' ) );
  //$(this).parents( 'form' ).submit();
  });
});

Each console.log will output the id of the submit that was clicked. You can then submit the form using the commented line.
