Description
When a form is submitted via document.formName.submit(), it is not caught by the .submit() function bound to the form.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>jQuery .submit() example</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form[name="testForm"]').submit(function() {
alert('Submitted!');
return false;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="testForm" action="submitExample.html" method="post">
<input type="text" name="textField" value="Press submit" />
<input type="submit" name="submitButton" value="Submit" />
<input type="button" name="submitButton" value="Submit with document.testForm.submit()" onclick="document.testForm.submit();" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The 'Submit' button is properly caught (and an alert displays), but 'Submit with document.testForm.submit()' is not.
I think this is how it works natively. Calling form.submit() will simply skip the handlers.
Use $(form).submit() instead.
