Identifying specific button in a form

so I want to get a specific value if a button is clicked in my form, but somehow its listening on all buttons and not only the buttons in my form.
Instead of the javascript example below I also tried calling the class by
$('.modifygap').bind('click', function (e) {
but in this example the value didnt get set correctly.
Here is my html:
<button type="button" id="anotherbutton">Another</button>
<form action="editortoken_information" id="showtoken" method="POST">
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="submit" name="modifygap" id="modifygap" class="modifygap"
value="14" data-value="test">14</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary" type="submit" name="modifygap" id="modifygap" class="modifygap"
value="15" data-value="test">15</button>
</form>
And here is my javascript function:
$(document.getElementById("showtoken")).ready(function () {
$("button").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
document.getElementById('tokenindex').value = this.getAttribute("data-value");
})
})
I thought by listening only on the specific id it would only detect button clicks in the form. But for some reason it is listening to all button clicks.

Use event.target.value to get the value of clicked element.
$(document).ready(() => {
$('.modifygap').bind('click', function (e) {
console.log('e', e.target.getAttribute("data-value"))
});
})

<button type="button" id="anotherbutton">Another</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary modifygap" type="submit" name="modifygap" id="modifygap"
value="14" data-value="test14">14</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary modifygap" type="submit" name="modifygap" id="modifygap"
value="15" data-value="test15">15</button>

html validation on button or hidden filed

wondering if anyone can help. As part of a form, i'm using a selection of buttons to capture satisfaction, rather than radio or dropdown. I'm using a jquery to capture the value of the button and adding it to a hidden field - the field the form is using to submit the information.
All works fine, however, i want to put validation, to make sure an answer is captured - but HTLM5 validation does not support buttons or hidden fields. Is there a was i can use JS to check if a button has been pressed on submit, and if not, toggle the html validator for that field?
Here the code i have so far;
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label required input_satisfaction" for="feedbackQuestions[56]">Please rate the venue facilities: <span class="required ">*</span></label>
<input required="required" type="hidden" name="feedbackQuestions[56]" id="feedbackQuestions_56">
<div id="feedbackQuestions_56_group" class="row">
<div class="col-xs-3"><button class="satisfactionBtn btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" required="required" name="Questions[56][0]" value="Excellent">Excellent</button></div>
<div class="col-xs-3"><button class="satisfactionBtn btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" required="required" name="Questions[56][1]" value="Good">Good</button></div>
<div class="col-xs-3"><button class="satisfactionBtn btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" required="required" name="Questions[56][2]" value="Satisfactory">Satisfactory</button></div>
<div class="col-xs-3"><button class="satisfactionBtn btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block" required="required" name="Questions[56][3]" value="Poor">Poor</button></div>
</div>
<script>
$('#feedbackQuestions_56_group .satisfactionBtn').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#feedbackQuestions_56_group .satisfactionBtn').each(function( index ) {
$( this ).removeClass('active');
});
var thisval = $(this).val();
$('#feedbackQuestions_56').val(thisval);
$(this).addClass('active');
});
</script>
</div>
I know i need to add a trigger to the submit button futher down the page, so i can do a jquery .click() and then prevent the event until i've checked, but not sure how to actually check or how to trigger the validation.

I would actually store it as a global JS variable rather than a hidden field. you can reparse this value to the hidden field through jQuery if you want, but I don't see a use in that. Also divs are selectable in JS as well, so you do not need them to be just one or the other.
var isSelected = false;
$('#feedbackQuestions_56_group .satisfactionBtn').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#feedbackQuestions_56_group .satisfactionBtn').each(function (index) {
$(this).removeClass('active');
});
var thisval = this.id;
console.log("thisval: " + thisval);
$('#feedbackQuestions_56').val(thisval);
$(this).addClass('active');
isSelected = true
});
$('#onSubmit').click(function () {
console.log(isSelected);
//
// Look into ajax post command
//
if (isSelected == true) {
// ajax call here
}
else {
alert("Please select a rating")
}
})

Since that hidden field value is filled by code not user, code should validate the value(or no need to validate).
It sounds really strange that the hidden field need to be validated.
Edited
If you really need to validate hidden field, the original way is not working, but you can do it tricky by just add opacity:0 style.
Add such style make it invisible but not hidden, so the validate should work fine as usual.
But just remember you must change the type="hidden" to type="text"

Disable/enable button using jquery

I have a button that will disable if a certain condition occurs. Its like when the order_status is Accepted then the button for Accept is disabled. Its same in the other buttons when the order_status is Pending then the Send button is disabled. How can I achieve that?
Whats happening right now is I can disable the button for ASD but when I change the #asd to #submitAccept it didn't disable the Accept button, how that's possible?
But for now, help me how can I achieve when the order_status is Accepted the Button for Accept is disabled. I hope you can help me guys with my prob, I don't know what to do. Really appreciate any help from you guys, Thanks!
Heres my code right now.
function viewOrder(order_id, order_id, user_id, order_date, order_time, order_deliveryCharge, order_totalAmount, address, coordinates, driver_number, order_status) {
document.getElementById("t_order_id").setAttribute("value", order_id);
document.getElementsByName("ORDER_ID_MODAL_2")[0].setAttribute("value", order_id);
document.getElementById("t_user_id").setAttribute("value", user_id);
document.getElementById("t_order_date").setAttribute("value", order_date);
document.getElementById("t_order_time").setAttribute("value", order_time);
document.getElementById("t_order_deliveryCharge").setAttribute("value", order_deliveryCharge);
document.getElementById("t_order_totalAmount").setAttribute("value", order_totalAmount);
document.getElementById("t_address").setAttribute("value", address);
document.getElementById("t_coordinates").setAttribute("value", coordinates);
document.getElementById("t_drivers_number").setAttribute("value", driver_number);
document.getElementById("t_order_status").setAttribute("value", order_status);
document.getElementById("ORDER_MODAL_ACCEPT").setAttribute("value", order_id);
document.getElementById("ORDER_MODAL_DELIVER").setAttribute("value", order_id);
document.getElementById("ORDER_MODAL_CANCEL").setAttribute("value", order_id);
$(document).on("click", "#asd", function () { // MY JQUERY
if ($("#t_order_status").val() == "Accepted") {
$("#asd").prop("disabled", true);
}
});
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="order_status" class="col-sm-2 control-label" style="width:20%;">Order Status</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="order_status" id="t_order_status" style="width:80%;" placeholder="" value="" required="required" readonly>
</div>
<button type="button" input style="background-color:#4CAF50;color:white;border-color:#000000;" name="submitDelivered" id="submitDelivered" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myDeliverModal" onclick="deliver('<?= $_POST['order_id'] ?>')" > Delivered </button>
<button type="button" input style="background-color:#0000FF;color:white;border-color:#000000;" name="submitAccept" id="submitAccept" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myAcceptModal" onclick="accept('<?= $_POST['order_id'] ?>')" > Accept </button>
<button type="button" style="background-color:#FFFF00;color:black;border-color:#000000;" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myDropdown" onclick="send('<?= $_POST['order_id'] ?>')"> Send </button>
<button type="button" input style="background-color:#f44336;color:white;border-color:#000000;" name="submitCancel" id="submitCancel" class="btn btn-success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myCancelModal" onclick="cancel('<?= $_POST['order_id'] ?>')">Cancel</button>
<button type="button" name="asd" id="asd" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="asd"> ASD </button>

Use the .disabled method and set it to true.
window.onload = function() {
if(document.getElementById("t_order_status").value == "Accepted") {
document.getElementById("asd").disabled = true;
}
}

Why this submit function in Meteorjs doesn't work?

I have a form which consists of 7 questions. I ask them individually using display:none. But the problem is that submit function doesn't work. When I click it, it just redirects back to the first question and url turns to - http://localhost:3000/?problem=&why1=&why2=&why3=&why4=&why5=&solution=&submit-all=Answer . I really need help with this please. Below is code for HTML template and JavaScript submit function to submit in Problems collection.
<template name="submitProblem">
<div class="container">
<div class="main-page">
<form class="text-center">
<div id="submit-problem">
<input autofocus="autofocus" type="text" name="problem" id="problem" placeholder="What's the problem ?"/>
<input type="button" id="route" value="Find Its Route" class="route btn btn-sample">
</div>
...
submit-why1 - submit-why4
...
<div id="submit-why5" class="hidden">
<input autofocus="autofocus" type="text" id="why5" class="" name="why5" placeholder="This problem exists, because..."/>
<input type="button" value="Answer" class="btn-success btn answer5">
<button class="btn back5 back-btn"><i class="fa fa-arrow-left fa-3x"></i></button>
</div>
<div id="submit-solution" class="hidden">
<input autofocus="autofocus" type="text" name="solution" id="solution" placeholder="What could be the best solution ?"/>
<input type="submit" id="submit-all" name="submit-all" value="Answer" class="btn btn-primary submit-all">
<button class="btn back6 back-btn"><i class="fa fa-arrow-left fa-3x"></i></button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</template>
Template.submitProblem.events({
'submit .submit-all':function() {
event.preventDefault();
var problem = $(event.target).find('[name=problem]').val();
var why1 = $(event.target).find('[name=why1]').val();
var why2 = $(event.target).find('[name=why2]').val();
var why3 = $(event.target).find('[name=why3]').val();
var why4 = $(event.target).find('[name=why4]').val();
var why5 = $(event.target).find('[name=why5]').val();
var solution = $(event.target).find('[name=solution]').val();
Problems.insert({
problem: problem,
why1: why1,
why2: why2,
why3: why3,
why4: why4,
why5: why5,
solution: solution,
submitdate: new Date()
});
console.log(problem + why1 + why2 + why3 + why4 + why5 + solution);
Router.go('submitted');
}
});

You need to pass the event as the first parameter to your handler:
submit: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
...
Otherwise it won't be defined, the default action (a POST) won't be prevented, and your page will reload.

Input field with two buttons

I have a form with one input field, but two buttons. The idea is to check in or out with a code. The process comes to the php file, where it ends with just a blank page. What´s wrong?
EDIT
I changed "btn_in" to "inputAnst_nr" And now it works to reg in. BUT, how to i fetch wich button is pressed?
HTML
<form class="form-inline well" id="usr_stamp" name="usr_stamp" method="post" action="php/usr_time_reg.php">
<div class="control-group">
<input id="inputAnst_nr" name="inputAnst_nr" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="Ange Anst. nr" type="tel">
<button id="btn_in" name="btn_in" class="btn btn-lg btn-info primary col-sm-offset-1" type="submit">In</button>
<button id="btn_out" name="btn_out" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger primary col-sm-offset-1" type="submit">Ut</button>
</div>
</form>
JS
$(document).ready( function () {
$("#btn_in").on('click', function() {
$("#usr_stamp").attr("action", "php/usr_time_reg.php");
});
$("#btn_out").on('click', function() {
$("#usr_stamp").attr("action", "php/usr_time_reg.php");
});
});
PHP
//Check if POST is empty
if(!empty($_POST)){
//Check if POST is "inputAnst_nr"
if(!empty($_POST['inputAnst_nr'])){
//Put POST_btn_in in variable
$posted_anst_nr = $_POST['inputAnst_nr'];

You could just use the same name attribute value for both buttons, just make sure you designate the appropriate value. Example:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['btn_in_out'])) {
$status = $_POST['btn_in_out']; // In or Out depending on which one you clicked
echo $status;
}
?>
<form class="form-inline well" id="usr_stamp" name="usr_stamp" method="post">
<div class="control-group">
<input id="inputAnst_nr" name="inputAnst_nr" class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="Ange Anst. nr" type="tel">
<button id="btn_in" name="btn_in_out" type="submit" value="In">In</button>
<button id="btn_out" name="btn_in_out" type="submit" value="Out">Ut</button>
</div>
</form>
