Assuming you build your buttons in the controller, you could make
this:
<input type="button" id="1" value="1" class="button">
<input type="button" id="2" value="2" class="button">
<input type="hidden" name="tmp" id="tmp">
<div id=target name=target></div>
Then in your javascript, after document.ready, something like this:
jQuery('.button').click(function(){
//any browser-side processing code would go here
val value=this.id;
jQuery('#tmp').val(value);
ajax('your_server_side_function', ['tmp'], 'target');
});
Caution: javascript code may contain typos.
