> 1) Will the form plugin work if only called through a function? Yes.

The form serialization is written to behave *exactly* the same way as the browser does it. > 4) How are special characters ( like the high unicode characters from > a MSWord paste) handled? I can say they are not much loved in the XML > serialization I am currently using? Encoding is handled by jQuery core using $.param which in turn uses encodeURIComponent. Thus the data is unicode and the content type is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". On the other thread, Jack posted a nice example of how he uses a timer to submit a form periodically. The key is to invoke "ajaxSubmit" in response to the timer event. Mike _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
