I want to attach an event (via javascript in the Free Nodelet, of course) to certain form submissions and I got a basic concept working (cribbed from the examples in "Learning Javascript"):

if (window.addEventListener) {
      window.addEventListener("load",setupEvents,false);
   } else if (window.attachEvent) {
      window.attachEvent("onload", setupEvents);
   } else {
      window.onload=setupEvents;
}

function setupEvents(evnt) {
   document.forms[1].onsubmit=myAlert;
}

function myAlert() {
        alert("gackerriffic");
}

So cool, I get a javascript alert when I activate the second form on any page. However, I want to target form submissions of a particular type, which is not always the second form.

I'm thinking I want to request that the forms on perlmonks be given names or id attributes so I can pick them out easily. Is there another way?
