Question

Is there a way in jQuery of setting all forms to a certain post request and then overriding specifically the success callback for each form?

Something like this:

$("form").submit(function(){
    $.post(url,function (){ callback actions});
});

$("form#foo").submit(function(){ 
    do the same 
    $.post(url, function(){ different actions});
});

Answer 1

Add the callbacks in an array, using the id of the form as key. In your success callback you can do:

$("form").submit(function(){
    var f = this;
    $.post(url,
           function() { 
               callbacks[$(f).attr('id')]() ;
           }
    );
});
