I am trying to change page on a form submit in Jquery, however, it is not working. It slides to show the same page instead of navigating to the target page. Below is the code. Any insights please? I tried using "#mainpage" , "index.html#mainpage" as well and still the same result. Link: jsfiddle.net/7yRph/1

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> 
    <title>Multi-page template</title> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.mobile-1.0.min.css" />
    <script src="jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
    <script src="jquery.mobile-1.0.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $('#launchpage').live('pagecreate',function(event) { 
        $('#fhome').submit( function () {
            $.mobile.changePage("mainpage");
        });
    });
    </script>
</head> 
<body> 

<!-- PAGE: launchpage -->
<div data-role="page" id="launchpage">
    <div data-role="header">

    You are missing your action attribute in your form tag. This often breaks functionality of forms in browsers. Try this:

    <form id="fhome" method="POST" action="mainpage">

    It shouldn’t negatively affect your code as you hijack the submit action anyway.

    UPDATE

    Also, you are missing your closing </form> tag and another closing </div> tag after that.

    Do you need to use a submit button? Would it work to use a button and its corresponding click event?

    UPDATE 2, working with form submit

    After you resolve the closing tags, add the preventDefault method call and the data-ajax="false" attribute as outlined here in the docs.
