I'm populating a Backbone.js model with form values, that handles the validation and then calls jQuery.ajax under the covers. In my view I'm calling $("#form_field").actualVal() to pass in the values. I did have an issue in browsers that already support placeholders; $.fn.actualVal is currently being defined in the wrong scope. I moved it outside of the closure around the event handlers and that solved my problems. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'valHooks'. Can you explain that a little further?
