How to capture submit event using jQuery in an ASP.NET application?

Question

I\'m trying to handle the submit event of a form element using jQuery.

    $(\"form\").bind(\"submit\", function() {
        alert

Yeah, this is annoying. I replace __doPostBack with my own so that I could get submit events to fire.

Iirc, this is an issue when submitting a form via javascript (which calls to __doPostBack do) in IE (maybe other browsers too).

My __doPostBack replacement calls $(theForm).submit() after replicating the default behavior (stuffing values in hidden inputs)
