I have a form in a plugin that is in an overlay. I'm using setAjax and when it submits I don't want it to call another page, I just want it to run a javascript function. Is there an example of this anywhere? I couldn't find anything in the docs.
I assume that I use $form->setAction(), but I need the action to be javascript.

Hi Eric,
Default ajax forms work with php responder in any case, and `$form->setAction()` used to set the responder url. As I understand you want to send all the form data using your custom js function. If yes, you can override form default submit handler using jquery:
$('#formId').unbind(submit).bind('submit', function(){
//my actions
}
);
Make sure your bind code is executed after core binds and don't forget to set formId. Also you can get form DOM link here `window.owForms['formName'].form`. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Thanks for the info. This might be a silly question, but I can't seem to find the answer. How do I set the form ID? I see it has a name attribute, but no id.

You can set the form ID using setter `setId('myId')` (works for all form elements).
