[jQuery] Printer Friendly Form Field Replacements

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have a project that I am working on where I needed to give a printer-
friendly view of a form.  Normally, I would do this server side, but
this form was pretty complicated, had a lot of fields, and I didn't
want to do all the if/then statements that would have been required in
my template.  So, Jquery to the rescue.  The snippet below takes the
value from each form field element, replaces it with a paragraph tag
with the field's value.  I have not thoroughly tested and this may not
be comprehensive, but I hope it is useful.  Maybe the form plugin has
this kind of functionality already?

 function formFieldsPrinterFriendly() {

    $("[EMAIL PROTECTED], textarea, select").each(function(i){
        if( this.type == 'textarea' ) {
            var input_text = $(this).text();
        } else if ( this.type == 'select-one' || this.type == 'select-
multiple' ) {
            var to_join = new Array();

            $(this).find('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each(function(){
                to_join.push($(this).text());
            });

            var input_text = to_join.join('<br />');
        } else {
            var input_text = $(this).val();
        }
        $(this).after('<p class="pinput">' + input_text + "</
p>").hide();
    });
}
