Kim,
Your attempt using "formData[2].value = blah" should work.
Consider the following form:
<form action="#">
<input type="text" name="user" />
<input type="password" name="pwd" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
This code placed in a doc-ready block shows how to modify the data
before it is sent:
$('form').ajaxForm( {
beforeSubmit: function(data, $form, opts) {
// data is an array that looks like this:
//
// [
// { name: 'user', value: 'value entered' },
// { name: 'pwd', value: 'value entered' }
// ]
alert('password entered: ' + data[1].value);
data[1].value = "Kim";
alert('modified password: ' + data[1].value);
}
} );
Try this code and watch the XHR request in Firebug. You'll see that
the password value is submitted as "Kim".

Thanks Mike!
What is the best way to change the data? I tried a
number of things including accessing formData with
array notation (formData[2].value = str_md5(tmp)
(where tmp is a copy of formData[2].value), direct
access (formData["password"]), and also I tried, just
in case, using it like a jquery object in various
ways. I tried this with jqForm as well.
In all of these cases when I then immediately alerted
formData[2], the original value was the one outputted,
not the changed version.
thanks :)
