Altering FORM Elements

[kwenda]

Is it possible to alter the text that gets sent in a POST before it is sent out?

There is a text box on a page whose value gets submitted to a search processor, but I would like to have "AND something" added on to the end of the search before it hits the search engine.

I know that it is possible to just have "AND something" show up in the box first, but I want this the be invisible to the average user.

Thanks for any help.

onsubmit event fires when user presses the "Submit" button, but before the form action is performed. Use it to alter the form elements. Be sure you return true.
