Adding a Click event to a submit button and then submitting the form
- by Abs
Hello all,
I have a form with a submit button. I have attached a click event to that submit button using JQuery. Once I did this my form wasn't submitting, I thought this was because of the event I added- if I remove that click event it submits the form successfully.
I have tried giving my form an id and calling the submit function but this was not successful either. What can I do?
$('#submit_gen').click(function() {
$('#genbtn').html('<img src="images/ajax-loader.gif" alt="loading" />');
$('#action_form').submit();
});
The HTML:
<form id="action_form" action="generate.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="file_upload" type="file" name="upload" onchange="file_select();"/>
<input type="text" id="overlay_input">
<div id="genbtn" class="genbtn">
<input id="submit_gen" type="submit" value="Upload">
</div>
</form>
Thanks all
