Somewhat closer.
var myVar = $(this).attr('name').substr(4); removes data leaving me with
['User']['username']
['username'] will change from form to form so the replace username will not
work because i will maually have to tell it what to strip out for each form
field.
Image a form that has something like this
['User']['username']
['User']['email']
['Post']['title']
['Post']['description']
['Comment']['comment']
All i need is User or Post or Comment as a variable.
Thanks for your help so far guys.
Dave

I know its more of a jQuery question...i asked on the jQuery group but no
luck and its Cake related so I will try here.
All the forms have this structure name="data[Model][field]"
How can I get User as a variable from name="data[User][username]"
var myVar = $(this).attr('name').substr(4);
alert(myVar);
gets me [User][username] but how can i strip out the rest of the text so i
end up with just User
Thanks,
Dave
