title: jquery getting post action url
body: <p>I'm trying to access the post target action in a jquery function.</p>
  
  <p>example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form action="/page/users" id="signup" method="post"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to access the "action" part - "/page/users" in this case.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#signup').live("submit", function(event) {
      // get this submitted action
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seems like I'm missing something very simple. I see the value in the dom but don't know where it's stored in jquery.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
