Not sure if that is what you are looking for. "this" just doesn't work in href, so you have to modify it. Have a look at the attached example.

I have taken the liberty of developing your code:

<script>
function myFunction(id){
alert(id);
}
var h = document.getElementsByClassName("formButton");
for (var i=0;i<h.length;i++) {
   h[i].parentElement.setAttribute('href',"javascript:myFunction('"+h[i].id+"');");
}
</script>

I removed #IDTST for # in the Links.
I added htmlclass=formButton to the button Names.

@naz - the code in in the Page's Body.
You would change myFunction() to validate_forms().

Cool, I did not know the htmlclass name. There is always something to learn here...
