/**
- * 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.
+ * A method for submitting an HTML form using AJAX, as opposed to the
+ * standard page-load way.
*
- * Usage examples, when used with getForm().putForm():
+ * 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 elements are transmitted
+ * correctly OR figuring out exactly which
+ * 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').form();
+ * $('#form-id').ajaxForm();
*
* 2. Render backend results directly to target ID (expects (x)HTML).
- * $('#form-id').form('#target-id');
+ * $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id');
*
* 3. Submit to backend URL (form action) then call this function.
- * $('#form-id').form(post_callback);
+ * $('#form-id').ajaxForm(post_callback);
*
* 4. Load target ID with backend results then call a function.
- * $('#form-id').form('#target-id', null, post_callback);
+ * $('#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').form('#target-id', pre_callback);
+ * $('#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').form('#target-id', pre_callback, post_callback);
+ * $('#form-id').ajaxForm('#target-id', post_callback, pre_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()
+ * @param pre_cb callback function before submission
+ * @return the jQuery Object
+ * @type jQuery
