get action of submitted form

Question

I have the following code which is triggered every time a user submits a form on my site.

I want to modify it slightly, so that it checks the action of the submission, and based on the presence of a particular keyword, runs some code.

My code is as follows:

$("form").submit(function() {
    //do some generic stuff
    var formAction = ""; //get the action of the submitted form

    if (formAction.indexOf('keyword') !== -1) {
        //do some specific stuff for these forms
    }
});         

How do I get the action of the form which triggered this call?

Answer 1

$("form").submit(function() {
    //some stuff...

    //get form action:
    var formAction = $(this).attr("action");

    //some other stuff...
});   

Answer 2

if you need Javascript without jQuery:

var action=document.getElementById('formId').action

with jQuery:

var action=$('#formId').attr('action');
