Target text without tags in a form

I am using a WordPress plugin on my website and I have a form that has some text I need to change, basically perform a find and replace. The problem is the form doesn't have a class and neither does the text, but since this is a plugin, I am not able to modify the actual plugin files. I only want to target a specific form on a specific page, so I'm wondering how to do this? I found a band-aid solution, but I'm wondering if there isn't a better way to do this?
My code looks like:
<?php if (is_page("tickets")) { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("form").addClass("tickets");
$("form").contents().filter(function(){
return this.nodeType === 3
}).wrap('<p />');
$("form p").text($("form p").text().replace("PayPal", ""));
</script>
<?php } ?>
Basically, this is a WordPress website, so is_page is targeting the specific page that has the form on it. The JS is only executing on the "Tickets" page.
Then, I am adding a class called tickets to my form, so I can target that specific form for styling purposes. This way I'm not affecting any of my other forms site-wide :-)
I am also wrapping text without tags in p tags. This way, I can target the text without tags for JS and styling purposes.
Finally...I am targeting the text (I just wrapped in p tags) and am removing the word "PayPal".
I try and stay away from JS if I can, because I know it can slow your page speed down, but I'm thinking since I narrowed it down to a specific page and a specific form, it probably won't affect things that much.
All this JS is pieced together from code I found here and there. Is there a better way to do this
The form looks like:
<div>
<form target="_blank" action="https://url.com/wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=add_wpeevent_button_redirect" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="path" value="sandbox.paypal">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="seller#url.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="2022 Event Name">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="20681">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="https://url.com/wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=add_wpeevent_button_ipn">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="EN_US">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="WPPlugin_SP">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">
<table class="main-table_20681" style="width: 100% !important;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="row-qty">
<select name="wpeevent_button_qty_a">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</td>
<td class="row-name">Ticket</td>
<td class="row-price">31.50 USD</td>
<td class="row-desc">
2022 Event Name
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Ticket">
<input type="hidden" name="id_1" value="2201">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="31.50">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Your eTicket will be sent to your PayPal email address after payment.<br>
<input class="wpeevent_paypalbuttonimage" type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make your payments with PayPal. It is free, secure, effective." style="border: none;"><img loading="lazy" alt="" border="0" style="border:none;display:none;" src="https://www.paypal.com/EN_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
</div>
Thanks,

I ended up using #vinay suggestion...thank you #vinay!
So now, the code looks like:
<?php if (is_page("tickets")) { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("form").addClass("tickets");
$("form").contents().filter(function(){
return this.nodeType === 3
}).wrap('<span />');
$("form span").text($("form span").text().replace("PayPal", ""));
</script>
<?php } ?>

IFrame form submittal opens in frame, needs to open in new window

Trying to resolve an issue using a 3rd party form that unfortunately has to use an iframe to be embedded in the article content. When a user submits their email address, the thank you page opens up in the space taken up by the iframe instead of the page / a new window. I tried using the following JS script to no avail:
<script type="text/javascript">
// If "&_parent=URL" is in this page's URL, then put URL into the top window
var match = /_parent=(.+)/.exec(window.location.href);
if (match != null) {
top.location = match[1];
}
</script>
The page in question:

How to completely hide radio button options when a page loads using Jquery or javascript?

I'm building a site with a shopping cart that doesn't give you access to the source code. I can edit the text on this page but I can't touch the forum fields or html.
Is it possible (using javascript or jquery) to hide the radio buttons on this payment page when the page loads so the customer can't edit payments on ALL pending orders at once? I'd like it to do the following:
1. hide both radio buttons when the page loads;
2. select only the radio button for the selected order
<form id="AccountSettingsForm" action="/AccountSettings.asp" method="POST" onsubmit="if (typeof(Update_Hidden_State_Fields) == 'function') Update_Hidden_State_Fields();"><input type="hidden" name="modwhat" value="change_c">
<input type="hidden" name="BillingID" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="ShipID" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="CCardID" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="OrderPlaced" value="4">
<input type="hidden" name="ReturnTo" value=""><br>
<table width="80%" border=0 align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#F7E26C">
<tr><td bgcolor="#FFFFCC">
<input type="radio" name="Apply_Payment_Method_To_All_Orders" value="" checked="checked" /><font color="#000000"><strong>Apply this payment method change to my Order#: 4 </strong></font><br />
<input type="radio" name="Apply_Payment_Method_To_All_Orders" value="Y" />
<font color="#000000"><strong>Apply Payment Method To All Orders</strong></font></td></tr></table>
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!

Start your page with the AccountSettingsForm element with the css property display set to none, then
<input class="rdbBtn" type="radio" name="Apply_Payment_Method_To_All_Orders" value="" checked="checked" /><font color="#000000"><strong>Apply this payment method change to my Order#: 4 </strong></font><br />
<input class="rdbBtn" type="radio" name="Apply_Payment_Method_To_All_Orders" value="Y" />
$('.rdbBtn').on('load',function(){
$('AccountSettingsForm').css('display', 'inline-block');
}

How convert html form to javascript

</form>
I need to do the same thing in javascript and send the link.
How do this?

if you use jquery, you can use the serialize() function which will do exactly what you want. It combines all names and values and generates a string from it.
You can find the function here: http://api.jquery.com/serialize/

not sure about javascript? but you can do this dynamically with a server side script such as Perl or PHP.

Sending Dual Forms with one submit, while pulling the email field from first Form into the second

I have two forms I need to send - the first form is a PHP mailer that takes the info from a bunch of fields and mails it to a recipent. That form has a checkbox and if checked I need the email from that for to be sent via ANOTHER form to a list server adding them to mailing list. I need all this to happen when clicking the submit button from the first form. Can anyone help me with a solution. Thanks.

</div></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2"><button type="submit" name="send" value="send" class="button1"></button></td></tr>

On your form, have the button tie back to a javascript event
<input type = 'button' value='Submit!' onclick='submitForms()' />
Then have that javascript function, submitForms, actually submit both of your forms.
document.forms["form1"].submit();
document.forms["form2"].submit();

You will probably need to do the second submission using PHPs curl wrapper so that you only have one form for the user to fill in. Is there any reason you must have two forms?
So it would work like this:
User submits form
Code sends first email
If checkbox checked then submit curl request to second form
