jQuery - Cancel form submit (using "return false"?)?
- by Nike
Hey there.
I'm running into a bit of trouble while trying to cancel the submit of a form. I've been following this tutorial (even though i'm not making a login script), and it seems to be working for him.
Here's my form:
<form action="index.php" method="post" name="pForm">
<textarea name="comment" onclick="if(this.value == 'skriv här...') this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value.length == 0) this.value='skriv här...';">skriv här...</textarea>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Publicera!" name="submit" />
</form>
And here's the jquery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form[name=pForm]').submit(function(){
return false;
});
});
I've already imported jQuery in the header and i know it's working. My first thought was that it might be outdated, but it's actually "just" a year ago.
So do anyone see what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: From what i've read the easiest and most appropriate way to abort the submit is to return false? But i can't seem to get it working. I've searched the forum and i've found several helpful threads but none of them actually works. I must be screwing something up.
