title: How can I manipulate a form / inputs to be ignored when a form is submitted
body: <p>I'm using ExpressionEngine and SafeCracker along with Ajax (plugin: jquery.form.js - <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/form/" rel="noreferrer">http://jquery.malsup.com/form/</a>). </p>
  
  <p>Best I can tell, SafeCracker will only allow for updating a single entry at a time. However, the UI / UX necessitates that a list be displayed. I've proof of concept'ed an entry by entry on-demand form. That is, click a particular edit link next to each entry and a snippet of jquery creates a form along with displaying a submit button. Click submit and that single entry updates. The inputs don't exist until the Update link is clicked</p>
  
  <p>What I would prefer to do, if possible, is to create the non-form and form versions of each entry as the page is renbered and use some sort of toggle to display one or the other. Again, doable. Then, when I click the Edit link I'd add the necessary attributes to the input so that entry's form elements will be read but the other (display: none) elements for the other entries will be ignored. I'm thinking (out loud) that if I add the attr("name", some-value) that would work. That is, an input with no name will be ignored.  </p>
  
  <p>Yes, I can test this and I will. However, even if it works I'm not sure if it's a best practice and/or there's a more ideal way of accomplishing my ends. I'm here looking for validation and/or additional expertise and input.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
