Answer 1

The jQuery Form Plugin works really well and will do just what you're after.

Answer 2

You could use the .serialize() command with the Ajax functions for talking to the server.

Answer 3

$("#ptowall").bind("submit", function() { return false; });

$.post("your-form-submit-handler", $("#ptowall").serialize());
