/**
 * 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

/**
 * 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');

 * @param pre_cb   callback function before submission
