<input type="button" id="addButton1" class="myButton" />
<input type="button" id="addButton2" class="myButton" />
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.myButton').click(function() {
alert($(this).attr('id'));
// alert(this.id) <-- should also work
}
});
</script>
Notice that I added a class="myButton" to each button element, and set the
listener for $('.myButton').click(), which listens for a click event on any
element that matches that selector.
Within the function triggered by the click event, $(this) or this are both
references to the element that triggered the click.

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my
wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
