JQuery `live()` and `submit()` problem

rated 0 times [ 36] [ 5] / answers: 1 / hits: 16710 / 14 Years ago, tue, december 7, 2010, 12:00:00

I wanna do something like this, but this one looks like happing for infinite times.

$(form).live(submit, function() { 



    if($(this).attr('action') != ajax){

        $(this).submit();

return true; // even i do this!! but form is NOT submited!!

}



else { /* doing the ajax stuff! */ }

});

in Chrome and Firefox after a while the form gets submitted, something like 10seconds and in IE it crashes !

I know when i say form.submit means that i am submitting this and get called function again and again, how can i avoid this ?

By fring .submit() again, which bubbles back to the .live() handler, you're causing an infinite loop, instead you want to call the native form.submit() method here, like this:

$(form).live(submit, function() { 

  if(this.action != ajax) {

    this.submit();

  }

  else { /* doing the ajax stuff! */ }

});

Also .action is a native DOM property, you can access it that way...not need for the jQuery overhead here.
