See http://jsfiddle.net/8KNc7/5/ for a working example of what I am talking about (testing in Firefox 15 right now, haven't tried others).

I have a form with a submit input and a button input that both submit the form data to the server, but only the submit input causes the jQuery submit event to run. Why is this?

Form:

<form action='/echo/html/' method='post' id='Form' name='Form'>
    
<input type='hidden' value='posted' id='html' name='html'>
    
<input type='submit' id='submit1' value='submit type'>
    
<input type='button' id='submit2' value='button type' onclick='submitForm();'>
</form>

Javascript (running at the end of the body tag):

var theForm = document.forms['Form'];
if (!theForm) {
    theForm 
= document.Form;
}
function submitForm() {
    theForm
.submit();
}

$

(function () {
    $
('form').submit(function () {
        alert
('ok');
    
});
});
