Multiple Submit buttons

Is it possible to have two submit buttons, one that runs javascript and one that submits without running the script or just by passes the validation.

I know I could just put an image there and send them on, but if I can just say submit and move on using the same form. I guess this is more of curiosity question.

Thanks

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
	function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["myForm"]["guardian_household"].value
var y=document.forms["myForm"]["guardian_tanf"].value
if (x==null || x=="" || y==null || y=="")
  {
  alert("All fields required.");
  return false;
  } 
  
}
</script>

<form name="myForm" action="" onsubmit="return validateForm()" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="guardian_household" id="guardian_household" /><br />
Tanf: <input type="text" name="guardian_tanf" id="guardian_tanf" />

<input name="answers" type="submit" class="submitbutton" id="answers" value="Submit Case Number and continue" />

<input name="answers" type="submit" class="submitbutton" id="answers" value="I Do Not Have A TANF / Food Stamp Case " />

</form>
