For the past several months, I've been working on Errorlytics, a Software as a Service that captures, analyzes, and helps you fix 404 Page Not Found errors for your Drupal, Wordpress, PHP, Rails, and Java web sites and applications.

The following Javascript is one way to do it. Note that I am using both Prototype and Ext JS in this snippet. Ext.onReady(function() { Ext.namespace('Dses'); Dses.formChanged = false; $$('form.watch-for-changes').each(function(form, index) { form.getElements().each(fu...
