on click event gets past the form submit

[anonymous]

In stack you can find the qactuall bug report and its realization in fiddle. Pls confirm if positive and if posible vote it back up. :)

This is a theoretical question, the bug is solved, over 2 days ago. no wich hunting, im just curios why the subit handler gets past the jqery and if this isa bug** So ppl stop grading - and provide input if you have any constructive.

I had a form which had an on click event bound to it. like

<form name = 'oldCode'> anoying legacy code old over 10 years <input type='submit' onclick='document.oldCode.submit()'> </form>

Now before that i put a jqery option which should have captured the submit action of the form:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('correct form selector id').submit(function(){

alert(1);

})

})

But oddly enough this dous not ever get executed....

But when i used a standard js like

document.oldCode.submit = function(){

alert(1); all worked 100% like it shold, im asking is this a bug or a feature???

}

Here is an example of the code.... ​http://jsfiddle.net/StCPp/4/

soooo is this a bug or some kind freak of nature????

From what I can tell the question is about inline event handlers, which is on our Won't Fix list.
