Question

I want to get a handle on the form being submitted, before submitting.

1. There might be more than one form in the page
2. I do not know the form name/id

reason: I want to do some tweeking before the form is being submitted in the template level.

Answer 1

With jQuery it’d be something like this:

$(function() {
  $('form').submit(function() {
    // the code goes here;
    // variable `this` is an instance of form
    alert($(this).className);
  });
});
