    If you want to check which button has been clicked and you are going to have multiple buttons, you can use $(this) inside the .click(), it will reference THE object which was clicked. So change the switch to:

    switch($(this).attr('id')) {

    The full lot:

    $('#buttons button').click(function(){
    switch( $(this).attr('id') ){
        case "mail":
            alert(1);
        break;
    }
});
