Using JQuery - preventing form from submitting

Question

How do I prevent a form from submitting using jquery?

I tried everything - see 3 different options I tried below, but it all won\'t work:

    $(docu

I had the same problem and I solved this way (not elegant but it works):

$('#form').attr('onsubmit','return false;');

And it has the advantage, in my opinion, that you can revert the situation any time you want:

$('#form').attr('onsubmit','return true;');
