##<iron-form>

<iron-form> is an HTML <form> 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:

<form is="iron-form" id="form" method="post" action="/form/handler">
  <paper-input name="name" label="name"></paper-input>
  <input name="address">
  ...
</form>

By default, a native <button> 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:

<paper-button raised onclick="submitForm()">Submit</paper-button>

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'siron-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());
});
