/**
* A method for submitting an HTML form using AJAX, as opposed to the
* standard page-load way.
*
* This method attempts to mimic the functionality of the original form
* as best as possible (duplicating the method, action, and exact contents
* of the form).
*
* There are three different resulting operations that can occur, after
* your form has been submitted.
*
* 1. The form is submitted and a callback is fired, letting you know
* when it's done:
* $("form").ajaxSubmit(function(){
* alert("all done!");
* });
*
* 2. The form is submitted and the resulting HTML contents are injected
* into the page, at your specified location.
* $("form").ajaxSubmit("#destination");
*
* 3. The form is submitted and the results returned from the server are
* automatically executed (useful for having the server return more
* Javascript commands to execute).
* $("form").ajaxSubmit();
*
* Additionally, an optional pre-submit callback can be provided. If it,
* when called with the contents of the form, returns false, the form will
* not be submitted.
*
* Finally, both the URL and method of the form submission can be
* overidden using the 'url' and 'mth' arguments.
*
* @param target arg for the target id element to render
* @param post_cb callback after any results are returned
* @param pre_cb callback function before submission
* @param url form action override
* @param mth form method override
* @return "this" object
* @see ajaxForm(), serialize(), load(), $.ajax()

/**
* This function can be used to turn any HTML form into a form
* that submits using AJAX only.
*
* The purpose of using this method, instead of the ajaxSubmit()
* and submit() methods, is to make absolutely sure that the
* coordinates of <input type="image"/> elements are transmitted
* correctly OR figuring out exactly which <input type="submit"/>
* element was clicked to submit the form.
*
* If neither of the above points are important to you, then you'll
* probably just want to stick with the simpler ajaxSubmit() function.
*
* Usage examples, similar to ajaxSubmit():
*
* 1. Just eval the results returned from the backend.
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm();
*
* 2. Render backend results directly to target ID (expects (x)HTML).
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id');
*
* 3. Submit to backend URL (form action) then call this function.
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm(post_callback);
*
* 4. Load target ID with backend results then call a function.
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id', post_callback);
*
* 5. Call a browser function (for validation) and then (optionally)
* load server results to target ID.
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id', null, pre_callback);
*
* 6. Call validation function first then load server results to
* target ID and then also call a browser function.
* $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id', post_callback, pre_callback);
*
* @param target arg for the target id element to render
* @param post_cb callback after any results are returned
* @param pre_cb callback function before submission
* @return the jQuery Object

* 1. Gather form vars and return array to LHS variable.
* var myform = $('#form-id').serialize();
*
* 2. Provide a serialized URL-ready string (after 1. above).
* var mystring = $.param(myform.vars);
