/**
* Initial frontend function to submit form variables. This function
* is for registering coordinates, in the case of an image being used
* as the submit element, and sets up an event to listen and wait for
* a form submit click. It then calls any following chained functions
* to actually gather the variables and submit them.
*
* Usage examples, when used with getForm().putForm():
*
* 1. Just eval the results returned from the backend.
* $('#form-id').form();
*
* 2. Render backend results directly to target ID (expects (x)HTML).
* $('#form-id').form('#target-id');
*
* 3. Submit to backend URL (form action) then call this function.
* $('#form-id').form(post_callback);
*
* 4. Load target ID with backend results then call a function.
* $('#form-id').form('#target-id', null, post_callback);
*
* 5. Call a browser function (for validation) and then (optionally)
* load server results to target ID.
* $('#form-id').form('#target-id', pre_callback);
*
* 6. Call validation function first then load server results to
* target ID and then also call a browser function.
* $('#form-id').form('#target-id', pre_callback, post_callback);
*
* @param target arg for the target id element to render
* @param pre_cb callback function before submission
* @param post_cb callback after any results are returned
* @return "this" object
* @see getForm(), putForm()

* This function gathers form element variables into an array that

* be used standalone as long as an image is not used for submission.
*
* Standalone usage examples:
*
* 1. Gather form vars and return array to LHS variable.
* var myform = $('#form-id').getForm();
*
* 2. Provide a serialized URL-ready string (after 1. above).
* var mystring = $.param(myform.vars);
*
* 3. Gather form vars and send to RHS plugin via "this.vars".
* $('#form-id').getForm().some_other_plugin();

/**
* Final form submission plugin usually used in conjunction with
* form() and getForm(). If a second argument is a valid function
* then it will be called before the form vars are sent to the
* backend. If this pre-submit function returns exactly "false"
* then it will abort further processing otherwise the process
* will continue according to the first and third arguments.
*
* If the first argument is a function, and it exists, then the form
* values will be submitted and that callback function called. If
* the first argument is a string value then the "load()" plugin
* will be called which will populate the innerHTML of the indicated
* element and a callback will be called if there is third argument.
* If there are no arguments then the form values are submitted with
* an additional variable (evaljs=1) which indicates to the backend
* to to prepare the returned results for evaluation, ie; the result
* needs to be valid javascript all on a single line.
*
* Usage example:
*
* $.fn.myvars = function() {
* this.vars = [];
* for (var i in this) {
* if (this[i] instanceof Function || this[i] == null) continue;
* this.vars.push({name: i, value: this[i].length});
* }
* return this;
* }
*
* precb = function(vars) {
* return confirm('Submit these values?\n\n'+$.param(vars));
* }
*
* $('*').myvars().putForm('#mytarget',precb,null,'myhandler.php');
