Maybe try:
success: function(html){
alert($(html).find('form').attr('action'));
I had some issues in the past using form id's with the jquery form
plugin, but usually getting it using 'form' worked.
That said, since the response isn't in the DOM yet, I'm not sure if that
might present an issue (too/instead).

It is frustrating because I really need to target a form in the html
response...

That's strange. I can't get it to work either and I'm getting the same
results as you (I can get #test2, but not #test). I've even truncated
the response down to as if you're only receiving the <form> part and
it still doesn't work. I'd be interested in seeing what happens here
too.

For some reason, I CANNOT target any forms within the html response.
I have tried very simple examples and it still won't work. Here is
what I have, that still returns undefined:
HTML:
<form id="test" action="http://test.com";>
<span id="test2">this is my text</span>
</form>
jQuery:
success: function(html){
alert($(html).find("#test").attr('action'));
alert($(html).find("#test2").text());
}
#test2 works, but #test never does, and it seems this is because it is
a form. Have I done something wrong here? Can I not target a form?

I have an ajax GET call that returns the HTML of a page on my server.
Within that page is a form with a specific ID. I know it is there, I
can see it in the response in Firebug, but when I try to get
attributes of that ID, it always returns undefined! What have I done
wrong here?
success: function(html){
$(html).find('#main_form').each(function() {
var linking_data = $(this).serialize();
var form_action = $(this).attr('action');
alert(form_action);
});
}
I have tried to not use each() and that still returns undefined. I
don't get it.
