Question

I have a form

<form id="solicitud" action="ventas.php?content=nuevo" method="post">
...
</form>

Then I have to submit my submit using jQuery but I can’t get it working

  $("#nombres").click(function(){
    alert('clicked');
    $("form").submit(function(event){
         event.preventDefault();
    });
});

The alert function is called but my form isn’t submited, what am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try :

$("#solicitud").submit();

instead of :

$("form").submit(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); });
