Access dynamic jQuery elements that have been added to the DOM after page has loaded

Submit form with jQuery gotcha

29, Oct 2009

It seems that you can’t submit a form with jQuery using:
1$(’form#myform’).submit();

1<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Press to continue" />
Change the name attribute to something else other than submit and it works fine ;]
