jQuery Forum

Hi bcamp1973

I'm having similar issues with JQ1.6.4 and JQM1.0

Seems that my $("#form-id").submit() will only fire when it's in the $(document).ready() function.

If I bind my submit or make it live then the function is never triggered (I do this in a script *before* JQM is loaded).

It's just ridiculous how it's so hard to get JQM stuff working. So fiddly and time wasting tying to track down all the newonces/idiosyncrasies

JQM 1.0 docs says never use $(document).ready(). Use pageinit() instead. Well, it doesn't work for me with regard to form submission.

Side Note: JQM TEAM - I'd like to see much more documentation than you have in place today, along with various case scenarios. I realise that the JQM library is an enormous (and complex) effort and it's freely given, but IMHO I feel the uptake of such technology will greatly improve if the documentation was clearer in some cases (and with dozens of examples). And yes, I have purchased several books on JQM and they all seem to have different opinions on how to do things (sorry - ranting over :)

Summary

This works:

1. $(document).ready(function() {
2.       $("#frmSignIn").submit(function(){
3.             alert("Handler for sign in submit() called");
4.             return false; // don't submit the form
5.       });
6. });

This doesn't:

1. $("#frmSignIn").bind("submit",function() {
2.       alert("Handler for sign in submit() called");
3.       return false; // don't submit the form
4. });

This doesn't either:

1. $("#frmSignIn").live("submit",function() {
2.       alert("Handler for sign in submit() called");
3.       return false; // don't submit the form
4. });

I just don't get it.

Very VERY frustrating!!
