That's what "to" methods usually imply, IMHO. Maybe it should be > "createFormData" or "extractFormData"? > </bikeshed> This was my reasoning too. I'm not a big fan of 'createFormData' as to me it doesn't sound like it'll also populate the FormData with the current values. Possibly due to the similarity with 'createElement'. 'extractFormData' sounds ok though, though i think 'getFormData' is nicer due to its shorter name. / Jonas
