Ahh I misunderstood. I was thinking after it was submitted and in the form
scope of CF. (although it was very plain that it's not what you said...
don’t ask)
.... write a function to use in the onclick of each button maybe?
<script>
function whatwasclicked(btn)
{
alert(btn);
//some if statements for different buttons here?
if (btn=='Button1')
{
//Do something for button1
}
else if (btn=='Button2')
{
//Do something for button2
}
}
</script>
<input type="button" name="button1" value="Button1"
onclick="whatwasclicked(this.value);">
<input type="button" name="button1" value="Button2"
onclick="whatwasclicked(this.value);">
Again... don’t know what you're doing with it but that will put the VALUE of
the button in the var 'btn' inside the function to do whatever you want
with.

The point is that regardless of what btn was clicked, its value hasn't
"taken effect" yet during onclick or onsubmit.
How does giving them different names help?
