Description

When triggering a form submission from the submit() method, the event cannot be cancelled as normal, with either return false; or event.preventDefault();

I have attached a test html file.

Interestingly enough, this example works if you place id="submit" on the input, but fails without it.

Works as expected in jQuery 1.4.2.
