Article explaining how to submit forms with Custom Elements

[zenorocha]

Native <form> element is not aware of Shadow DOM so you need to use ajax or some nice element like ajax-form.

Might be useful to show some examples on how to accomplish that with some popular elements such as paper input elements.

What do you think about that @rnicholus? You would be perfect to write such article ;)

[rnicholus]

@zenorocha Sounds like fun! I'd be happy to write something up for webcomponents.org. I need to finish up the last article in my "You Don't Need jQuery!" series, and then I can start working on this.

[zenorocha]

That's awesome to hear ;)

Closing this one due to its inactivity. If you find some time, feel free to send a PR @rnicholus :)

So sorry that I didn't follow through with this yet @zenorocha. I have a few too many balls in the air right now. I'll keep this on my radar and try to put together an outline and start writing something up if I find some space in between my current commitments.

[zenorocha]

No problem @rnicholus, that's totally acceptable :)
