Hi, Yeah, changes to the DOM that's being torn down are probably pretty low priority.
If you really, really want to do this, I'd probably do a lib that: 1. Dynamically replaces the type='submit' buttons with type='button' buttons. 2. Watches for clicks on them. 3. In the click handler, do your form validation (since you won't get a submit event), and if it passes add a hidden element to the form using the button's value, show your covering div, and set up the delayed submit of the form. ...then reuse it. :-) -- T.J.
