jquery submit onclick

Question

how do i get an input type="submit" onclick event to fire the commitfunds.valdiate? i can't use a class or id. it must be an onclick event.

here's the code:

<?
foreach ($db->row AS $val){
$("#commitfunds<?=$val['id']?>").validate({
submitHandler: function(form){
 $.post('/pages/aditorials/add_to_cart.php',
$("#commitfunds<?=$val['id']?>").serialize(), function(data) {
 $('#wb_fundsresults<?=$val['id']?>').html(data);
 });
}
});
<form>
<input type="text" name="commit_funds">
<input type="submit" onclick="$(#commitfunds).validate()<?=$val['id']?>;return false;">
</form>
<div id="#wb_fundsresults<?=$val['id']?>"></div>
?>

thanks

Answer 1

$("input[type=submit]").click(function(){
// do your stuff
});

EDIT: 11/11/14

You can use .submit()

$("form").submit(function(event){
// do your stuff
});

• Steve Robbins: or check for the form being submitted $('form').submit(function() { /* do stuff */ });
• complexi: thanks for the answers. are these for the jquery function or the onlick event? i need it for the onlick event. user clicks the submit button fires the onclick event which then executes the jquery function.
