jQuery Form Plugin
About jQuery Form 
From the project's README at github.com/jquery-form/form. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Overview The jQuery Form Plugin allows you to easily and unobtrusively upgrade HTML forms to use AJAX. The main methods, ajaxForm and ajaxSubmit, gather information from the form element to determine how to manage the submit process.
