jQuery Forum

I'm using the (excellent) jquery validate plugin on a form where there are multiple submit buttons. One button is a "Save" button, the other is "Save and Finish", the main difference being that you are taken to a different page depending on which you click. This all works just fine, until I add a remote validator. At this point the form does not post the name/value of the submit button that was clicked (as per http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.2). If I remove the remote validator it works as expected again. I'm not using ajax here, the form is posted in a POST request in the context of the current page.

What I suspect is that the remote validator requires the original form post event to be cancelled, while waiting for the validator to return, and then a new form submit event is created without the context of the submit button attached. 

The best work around I've found appears to be setting up a hidden field on click of the submit button (similar to that used for the jquery form:http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-form-with-multiple-submit-buttons)? Does anyone else experience this behaviour? Is there a better solution?
