Article/Series Proposal: Working with Forms

[gnarf]

Many of the most popular stack overflow questions are currently about "how do I work with form elements" (is something checked? how to check on and off, etc)

It would be nice to write an article (or perhaps a section) about how to work with form elements.

Some tips to include:

• .prop('disabled') - what it actually does (remove from submission data, make un-interactive)
• $('form').on('submit') instead of $('button[type=submit]').on('click')
• Working with checkboxes (is it checked, value, names, etc)
• Working with radios
• Working with selects (option vs select, .val() etc)
• Form specific events (change, focus, blur, key events, etc)

We can add all the things mentioned above along with some examples.
A few of them are mentioned here under selecting form elements http://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/selecting-elements/ but lack examples. We can either add the improved documentation there itself or make a new page which just deals with form elements.
