I have an HTML Form which has two Buttons of the type "submit". One for submitting the form and one for cancelling the form.

To validate the input, I added a event listener, which reacts when somebody submits the form:

    $("form").submit(function (e) {
    if (textboxContainsValues){
       return true:
    }
       else false;
    });

My problem is, when I click on "Cancel" (abbrechen), it also goes into the event listener and checks the textboxes for values.

Is there a way to distinguish those two actions with my above listener?

thanks in advance

As pointed out in the comments you could either simplify your function to just return textboxContainsValues; or even better use type="button" instead of type="submit" on your cancel button.
