Changing the action of a form with JavaScript/jQuery

by

jQuery (1.4.2) gets confused if you have any form elements named “action”. You can get around this by using the DOM attribute methods or simply avoid having form elements named “action”.

<form action="foo">
  <button name="action" value="bar">Go</button>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  $('form').attr('action', 'baz'); //this fails silently
  $('form').get(0).setAttribute('action', 'baz'); //this works
</script>
