Question

I need help here.
My jQuery code does not return the submit button name in the $_POST Array…

This is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#submForm').validate({ 
        submitHandler: function(form) {
            // Do cleanup first

            form.submit(); 
        }
    })
});
</script>

<input type="submit" class="paypal_bttn" value="premium" name="bttn">

In the $_POST array I can see everything except the button name, that I am really in need to know…

Please help.
Thanks

Answer 1

you are not submitting or validating the form on button click, since you have wrapped your code inside the ready handler as soon as the DOM is ready you form is validated and then submitted

<input type="submit" class="paypal_bttn" value="premium" name="bttn">

what you can do is

$(document).ready(function(){    
$("input[name='bttn']").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();  //your button type is submit so prevent the default form submission
$('#submForm').validate({ 
        submitHandler: function(form) {
            // Do cleanup first    
            form.submit(); 
        }
    })
   });    
  });
