I am trying to call an action before submitting, when an order is placed in WooCommerce. I am trying to target the specific submit form like this:

2. jQuery('form[name="checkout"]').submit(function(event) {
3.   alert( "Checkout submit!" );
4.   console.log('test');
5.   event.preventDefault();
6. });

However, it doesn't seem to work. The page just submits the order like it has always done.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
