Answer 1

Nah..is this what you want?

 $(document).ready(function(){ $('.beforeClick').click(function(){ $(this).css('background-color',"#C1B0B3"); }); });

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <button type="button" id="incbutton" class="beforeClick" style="background-color:#9C7260" >Report1</button> <button type="button" id="dthbutton" class="beforeClick">Report2</button> <button type="button" id="negbutton" class="beforeClick">Report3</button>

Answer 2

Create a class and call it whatever you want eg: .clickedButton or .afterClick and then when a form is submitted you do just like you did with #form_sub_container divs :

<div id="form_sub_container3" style="display: <?= isset($_POST['report31'])? 'block':'none'?>">

but this time you have to do it with your buttons, something like:

<button type="button" id="incbutton" class="<?= isset($_POST['rep'])? 'afterClick':'beforeClick'?>" >Report1</button>
<button type="button" id="dthbutton" class="<?= isset($_POST['report21'])? 'afterClick':'beforeClick'?>" >Report2</button>
<button type="button" id="negbutton" class="<?= isset($_POST['report31'])? 'afterClick':'beforeClick'?>" >Report3</button>

css

.afterClick{
     background-color:#9C7260;
}

button color stay same after submitting the form
