Question

i have a form which is within a div, the form contains an input type=file. I submit the form using

$("#div form").submit();

but i want to detect when the form has actually completed submitting. I have tried:

$("#div form").submit(function()
{
 alert("submitted")
});

But this didnt seem to work, the form was no longer submitted and i wouldn’t get the alert either.

Then i tried:

$("#div form").submit(showalert());

function showalert()
{
 alert("show");
}

this then showed the alert but still didnt submit.

Anything I’m missing?

Thanks

Marcel.

You could try:

$("#div form").submit(function(){ 
    alert("submitted");
    return true;
});
