submit form on click event using jquery

Question

So can someone please tell why neither of these options will actually submit the form? I am trying to do something more complicated but I have boiled it down to this to try

Answer 1

Why not simply use the submit button to run the code you want. If your function returns false, it will cancel the submission.

$("#testForm").submit(function() {
    /* Do Something */
    return false;
});
