jQuery - Form still submits with return false

Question

For some odd reason the form keeps submitting even though I am returning false. I have tried:

$(\"#submitEdit\").submit(functi

According to your jsfiddle demo your form is added dinamically. So, you have to use delegation:

$(document).on("submit", "#submitEdit", function() {
    var url = $(this).attr('action');
    var data = $(this).serialize();
    alert(data);
    $.post(url, data, function(returned) {
        $(parentId + "Field").html(returned);
        return false;
    });
    return false;
});
