Q:

Determine which submit button clicked when they have same name

I have a form with multiple submit buttons called "select". I want to be able to tell which was clicked. I can't set the value to the number because I want them to say "select". How can I do this?

A:

You can give them different name attributes instead of different value attributes. For example:
<%= f.submit "select", name: "select_one" %>
<%= f.submit "select", name: "select_two" %>

Clicking the first one will insert
"select_one"=>"select"

into your POST parameters and clicking the second one will insert
"select_two"=>"select"

into your POST parameters.
In your controller, simply use params[:select_one] and/or params[:select_two] as conditions in your logic, like so:
if params[:select_one]
  puts "select_one was clicked"
elsif params[:select_two]
  puts "select_two was clicked"
end
