Cookie.

Within the same page:-

<script type="text/javascript">
var buttn;
function whichBtn(frm) {
alert(buttn);
return false;
}
</script>

<form name = "myform" onsubmit="return whichBtn(this)">
<input type="image" src="http://www.codingforums.com/images/buttons/reply.gif" border="0" name="Post Reply" onclick="buttn=this.name">&nbsp;&nbsp;

<input type="image" src="http://www.codingforums.com/images/buttons/quote.gif" border="0" name="Quote"  onclick="buttn=this.name">
</form>

So how we can identify on other page which one button is clicked??

<form name = "myform" method="get">
<input type="submit" name="Reply" value="Reply" >&nbsp;&nbsp;

<input type="submit"  name="Quote"   value="Quote">
</form>

Check the url after submitting a form like above.

Well the thing that i want is.

I have 3 buttons with ids b1,b2,b3

<form name='form1' action='abc.jsp'>
<input type='Submit' value='b1' id='b1'/>
<input type='Submit' value='b2' id='b2'/>
<input type='Submit' value='b3' id='b3'/>

</form>

So i want to get the value of button on jsp page using javascript that which one button was clicked,Do you think i have to define some hidden variable?? Any solution??

You don't have to define any hidden variables. Just add a name to the submits the way abduraooft suggested as well as changing the form method to get, you can even go as far as to give them all the same name. example:

<form name='form1' action='abc.jsp' method="get">
    <input type='Submit' value='b1' id='b1' name="which"/>
    <input type='Submit' value='b2' id='b2' name="which"/>
    <input type='Submit' value='b3' id='b3' name="which"/>
</form>

After that... getting the value from JSP shouldn't be all that hard:

<%
    String which = request.getParameter("which");
%>

After that... just do whatever with the variable which (that contains the value of the clicked button). I don't see where the problem is with the offered solutions.
