You will have to dig it from DOM data. But, let me tell you, its not recommended. Try this,

var form = $('#myForm');
var data = form.data();
var events = data.events;

If the handler function is attached to form 'submit', it will be present as,

var submit_list = events.submit;

Now, if all goes well, at best you can get submit_list as list of all the handler objects attached to submit event of form.

Shortcut: Assuming you have one and only one handler attached to submit event for #myForm,

$('#myForm').data().events.submit[0].handler

is your function.

Play with data(), but remember its not recommended. Happy Coding.
