Question

I am using the following plugin here:

jquery.malsup.com/form/

I want to make it so that when the user clicks Submit, it changes the attribute action like:

$('$theform').get(0).setAttribute('action', 'theurliwant');

My issue is, I do not know where to put that because the JQuery Form Plugin appears to have its own handlers, and when i stick a click handler on the submit button, it seems to catch the event without going to JQuery Form Plugin’s handlers.

Where can I stick the code to change the action?

Take a look at the documentation for your plugin. The answer is there.

Under options

url: URL to which the form data will be submitted. Default value: value
of form’s action attribute

There is also beforeSubmit

Callback function to be invoked before the form is submitted. The
‘beforeSubmit’ callback can be provided as a hook for running
pre-submit logic or for validating the form data. If the
‘beforeSubmit’ callback returns false then the form will not be
submitted. The ‘beforeSubmit’ callback is invoked with three
arguments: the form data in array format, the jQuery object for the
form, and the Options Object passed into ajaxForm/ajaxSubmit.

beforeSubmit: function(arr, $form, options)
