if submitting as a form, should add a line of code to end of the js function $('input[name="happy"]').val($(this).data('title'));

Doesn't work in tabs. Even on this site, switch to HTML, CSS or JS and when you switch back to the Preview, it won't work.

@aven_parker:disqus The value will be set by this line of js code: $('#'+tog).prop('value', sel);
