But I think I started off wrong using the click functions the form should be bind submit no?
I am here now but nothing addTest('#add_test'); //this is the form ID and on the html page Below is in the external js sheet function addTest(selector) { var $form = $(selector); $form.submit( function() { var form_url = $form.attr('action'); alert(form_url); return false; }); } But no alert. Any ideas?
