This is exactly the approach I like to take, but it can still be tricky.
(For me anyway - my interface fu is weak.)

What's the best-of-breed solution for changing a regular form submission
button to initiate an Ajax call instead of submitting the form? I've got
a hacky solution that involves rewriting the button, adding an
onsubmit() action, and trying to keep it from submitting the form in IE,
but it feels like there must be a more elegant solution.
