Clever! I will try that. Another approach that might work for some is to
serialize the form data into a hash. Then you should have the values for
each form control indexed by their name.
var h = $('formId').serialize( true ) ;
Then, for a form control with a name of 'name' you can do:
if (h{'name'} == 'valueIcareAbout') ...
