Question

This is the form declaration:

      <form id="form1" method="post" onsubmit="this.action='/mis_apps/scholarships-syste'+'m/index.cfm/scholarships/edit';">

This my javascript:

     $("#form1").attr("action", "/mis_apps/scholarships-syste'+'m/index.cfm/scholarships/test");
     alert($("#form1").attr("action"));
     $("#form1").unbind("submit").submit();

The alert correct displays the new action. But when submit is ran, it still goes to the original code in the onsubmit.

I also tried:

    $("#form1").unbind("submit");
    $("#form1").submit();

But it still doesn’t work.

Thank you.

Answer 1

.unbind will remove only jQuery attached event handlers.

Try this,

$('#form1').removeAttr('onsubmit')
$('#form1').submit();
