/**
 * ajaxsubmit() provides a mechanism for submitting an html form using ajax.
 *
 * ajaxsubmit accepts a single argument which can be either a success callback function
 * or an options object.  if a function is provided it will be invoked upon successful
 * completion of the submit and will be passed the response from the server.
 * if an options object is provided, the following attributes are supported:
 *
 *  target:   identifies the element(s) in the page to be updated with the server response.
 *            this value may be specified as a jquery selection string, a jquery object,
 *            or a dom element.
 *            default value: null
 *
 *  url:      url to which the form data will be submitted.
 *            default value: value of form's 'action' attribute
 *
 *  type:     the method in which the form data should be submitted, 'get' or 'post'.
 *            default value: value of form's 'method' attribute (or 'get' if none found)
 *
 *  data:     additional data to add to the request, specified as key/value pairs (see $.ajax).
 *
 *  beforesubmit:  callback method to be invoked before the form is submitted.
 *            default value: null
 *
 *  success:  callback method to be invoked after the form has been successfully submitted
 *            and the response has been returned from the server
 *            default value: null
 *
 *  datatype: expected datatype of the response.  one of: null, 'xml', 'script', or 'json'
 *            default value: null
 *
 *  semantic: boolean flag indicating whether data must be submitted in semantic order (slower).
 *            default value: false
 *
 *  resetform: boolean flag indicating whether the form should be reset if the submit is successful
 *
 *  clearform: boolean flag indicating whether the form should be cleared if the submit is successful
 *
 *
 * the 'beforesubmit' callback can be provided as a hook for running pre-submit logic or for
 * validating the form data.  if the 'beforesubmit' callback returns false then the form will
 * not be submitted. the 'beforesubmit' callback is invoked with three arguments: the form data
 * in array format, the jquery object, and the options object passed into ajaxsubmit.
 * the form data array takes the following form:
 *
 *     [ { name: 'username', value: 'jresig' }, { name: 'password', value: 'secret' } ]
 *
 * if a 'success' callback method is provided it is invoked after the response has been returned
 * from the server.  it is passed the responsetext or responsexml value (depending on datatype).
 * see jquery.ajax for further details.
 *
 *
 * the datatype option provides a means for specifying how the server response should be handled.
 * this maps directly to the jquery.httpdata method.  the following values are supported:
 *
 *      'xml':    if datatype == 'xml' the server response is treated as xml and the 'success'
 *                   callback method, if specified, will be passed the responsexml value
 *      'json':   if datatype == 'json' the server response will be evaluted and passed to
 *                   the 'success' callback, if specified
 *      'script': if datatype == 'script' the server response is evaluated in the global context
 *
 *
 * note that it does not make sense to use both the 'target' and 'datatype' options.  if both
 * are provided the target will be ignored.
 *
 * the semantic argument can be used to force form serialization in semantic order.
 * this is normally true anyway, unless the form contains input elements of type='image'.
 * if your form must be submitted with name/value pairs in semantic order and your form
 * contains an input of type='image" then pass true for this arg, otherwise pass false
 * (or nothing) to avoid the overhead for this logic.
 *
 *
 * when used on its own, ajaxsubmit() is typically bound to a form's submit event like this:
 *
 * $("#form-id").submit(function() {
 *     $(this).ajaxsubmit(options);
 *     return false; // cancel conventional submit
 * });
 *
 * when using ajaxform(), however, this is done for you.
 *
 * @example
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(function(data) {
 *     alert('form submit succeeded! server returned: ' + data);
 * });
 * @desc submit form and alert server response
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     target: '#mytargetdiv'
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc submit form and update page element with server response
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     success: function(responsetext) {
 *         alert(responsetext);
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc submit form and alert the server response
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     beforesubmit: function(formarray, jqform) {
 *         if (formarray.length == 0) {
 *             alert('please enter data.');
 *             return false;
 *         }
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc pre-submit validation which aborts the submit operation if form data is empty
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     url: myjsonurl.php,
 *     datatype: 'json',
 *     success: function(data) {
 *        // 'data' is an object representing the the evaluated json data
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc json data returned and evaluated
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     url: myxmlurl.php,
 *     datatype: 'xml',
 *     success: function(responsexml) {
 *        // responsexml is xml document object
 *        var data = $('myelement', responsexml).text();
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc xml data returned from server
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     resetform: true
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc submit form and reset it if successful
 *
 * @example
 * $('#myform).submit(function() {
 *    $(this).ajaxsubmit();
 *    return false;
 * });
 * @desc bind form's submit event to use ajaxsubmit
 *
 *
 * @name ajaxsubmit

/**
 * ajaxform() provides a mechanism for fully automating form submission.
 *
 * the advantages of using this method instead of ajaxsubmit() are:
 *
 * 1: this method will include coordinates for <input type="image" /> elements (if the element
 *    is used to submit the form).
 * 2. this method will include the submit element's name/value data (for the element that was
 *    used to submit the form).
 * 3. this method binds the submit() method to the form for you.
 *
 * note that for accurate x/y coordinates of image submit elements in all browsers
 * you need to also use the "dimensions" plugin (this method will auto-detect its presence).
 *
 * the options argument for ajaxform works exactly as it does for ajaxsubmit.  ajaxform merely
 * passes the options argument along after properly binding events for submit elements and
 * the form itself.  see ajaxsubmit for a full description of the options argument.
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     target: '#mytargetdiv'
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsform(options);
 * @desc bind form's submit event so that 'mytargetdiv' is updated with the server response
 *       when the form is submitted.
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     success: function(responsetext) {
 *         alert(responsetext);
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc bind form's submit event so that server response is alerted after the form is submitted.
 *
 *
 * @example
 * var options = {
 *     beforesubmit: function(formarray, jqform) {
 *         if (formarray.length == 0) {
 *             alert('please enter data.');
 *             return false;
 *         }
 *     }
 * };
 * $('#myform').ajaxsubmit(options);
 * @desc bind form's submit event so that pre-submit callback is invoked before the form
 *       is submitted.
