I am using ASP.NET/MVC but also trying to use JQuery to do some async postbacks.
I am totally new at Jquery and still find it difficult.
All I want to do is, to have a submit button using the standard HTML submit button but then use some jquery to add a click handler to it, so when clicked, it will do something such as a post or an alert. This is what I have, and it does not work at all. nothing happens:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(
"#cmdAdd"
).submit(
function
() { alert(
'hi'
); });
</script>
<
input
type
="submit"
id
="btnAdd"
value
="Add Item"
/>
thats basically it. I dont have a form tag or anything, just everything in an HTML page and thats it.
how can I add a handler to that button?
