[](https://travis-ci.org/PolymerElements/iron-form) _[Demo and API Docs](https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/iron-form)_ ##<iron-form> `` is an HTML `

` element that can validate and submit any custom elements that implement `Polymer.IronFormElementBehavior`, as well as any native HTML elements. It supports both `get` and `post` methods, and uses an `iron-ajax` element to submit the form data to the action URL. Example: ...

By default, a native `` element will submit this form. However, if you want to submit it from a custom element's click handler, you need to explicitly call the form's `submit` method. Example: Submit function submitForm() { document.getElementById('form').submit(); } To customize the request sent to the server, you can listen to the `iron-form-presubmit` event, and modify the form's[`iron-ajax`](https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/iron-ajax) object. However, If you want to not use `iron-ajax` at all, you can cancel the event and do your own custom submission: Example of modifying the request, but still using the build-in form submission: form.addEventListener('iron-form-presubmit', function() { this.request.method = 'put'; this.request.params = someCustomParams; }); Example of bypassing the build-in form submission: form.addEventListener('iron-form-presubmit', function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var firebase = new Firebase(form.getAttribute('action')); firebase.set(form.serialize()); });
