Question

html:

<input id="save "type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary"/>

javascript that register onclick (IsValid is a function that validates before submiting, returns true of false)

$('#save').click(function () {  
 return IsValid();
});

Note that this exact same code works if I write:

 <input id="save "type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-primary" onclick='javascript: IsValid();'/>

This is another option without modifying the markup (createForm is the form)

$('#createForm').submit(function () {   
 return IsValid();
});

Why $(”).click is not registering my event handler?

Form looks like this:

 <form method="post" id="createForm" class="well" action="/ScheduleWorkDay/Create" novalidate="novalidate">

MrOBrian was right. The problem was that

 <input id="save " 

had an extra space in the id name. Thanks!
