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?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
