使用多个提交按钮进行jquery验证时，无法识别第二个提交操作

Question

I am using the jquery validate plugin to validate and submit a form on my page which has multiple submit buttons to run different functions.

One submit button runs using the $post method while the other uses the standard action method.

(Please stick with me if my terminology is wrong)

The problem I am having is that if I submit the form using the first button, then try again using the second button, it trys to run the first action again on the second submit.

Here's my code which will hopefully make things clearer...

<form id="myForm" action="add.php">
<input type="submit" id="myfunction" />
<input type="submit"​ id="add" />
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​<input type="text" name="myvalue" />
</form>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

and my validate code...

$("#myForm input[type=submit]").click(function(e) {
        if (e.target.id == 'myfunction') {
            $("#myForm").validate({
                submitHandler: function(form) {
                    $.post('myfunctionpage.php', $("#myForm").serialize(), function(data) { });
                }
            });
        } else if (e.target.id == 'add') {
            $("#myForm").validate({
                rules: {
                    name: {
                        required: true,
                    }
                }
            });
        }

    });​

Why don't you seaprate the code into two segments?

$("#myfunction").click(function(e) {

            $("#myForm").validate({
                submitHandler: function(form) {
                    $.post('myfunctionpage.php', $("#myForm").serialize(), function(data) { });
                }
            });
        } 

$("#add").click(function(e) {
            $("#myForm").validate({
                rules: {
                    name: {
                        required: true
                    }
                }
            });
        }
