I'm using the ajaxForm plugin for jQuery to submit forms on my webapp. However, in one part of the app, I'm loading some content thathas a form on it via jQuery's .load()
The problem lies in that I can't get ajaxForm to bind to the form loaded via ajax.
I've tried this code to no avail:
$('#viewRecordBtn').live('click', function() { // Handle the event when the 'view record' button is clicked
$("#tab2").load('ajax/viewRecord.php'); // Load the record and the form into tab 2
$('#formAddRecord').ajaxForm(formAddRecordOptions); // Bind the form
});
Any help is REALLY appreciated!!
Edit: Thanks guys! This works perfectly.
I think you should put binding code into a callback, because the load is asynchronous:
$('#viewRecordBtn').live('click', function() { // Handle the event when the 'view record' button is clicked
$("#tab2").load('ajax/viewRecord.php', function() {
$('#formAddRecord').ajaxForm(formAddRecordOptions); // Bind the form
}); // Load the record and the form into tab 2
});
If you use latest jQuery Form Plugin and jQuery 1.7+ you can use 'delegation' option, like this :
$('#myForm').ajaxForm({
delegation: true,
target: '#output'
});
Its described in here: http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js
that is because you are binding ajaxForm at the time that the .load()
is not yet complete. try this:
$('#tab2').load('ajax/viewRecord.php', function() {
$('#formAddRecord').ajaxForm(formAddRecordOptions);
});
$('#viewRecordBtn').live('click', function() {
$("#tab2").load('ajax/viewRecord.php', function(){
$('#formAddRecord').ajaxForm(formAddRecordOptions); // Bind the form
}); // Load the record and the form into tab 2
});
