In the code below, "clicked" is logged out, but "submitted" is never logged. Anyone know why? The IDs are correct.

$('#submitModal').click(function(){ console.log("clicked"); $('#createEvent').submit(function() { console.log('submitted'); return false; }); });

This code binds a handler. It doesn't trigger one.

$('#createEvent').submit(function() { console.log('submitted'); return false; });

You'd need to bind it first, then trigger it when needed.

 // bind the click $('#submitModal').click(function(){ console.log("clicked"); $('#createEvent').submit(); // trigger the pre-bound submit handler }); // bind the submit $('#createEvent').submit(function() { console.log('submitted'); return false; });

Also you may have some issues if $('#submitModal') is a submit button to a form element. Not sure.
