Ok, the intended result is that doing something like this:
$("form").submit(function(){
return validate(this);
});
...
$("form").submit();
Will be completely possible. .submit() will, perform roughly the same
thing as $("form")[0].submit(). THIS WILL NOT, NECESSARILY, SUBMIT THE
FORM.
If you have an event handler (like above) and it returns false, then
the submission will stop. This is just like its always been. The "new"
functionality in .submit() is actually a bug fix. Triggering is
supposed to actually trigger the event - but has never in the past
(which has been a huge source of confusion).
I hope this helps to clarify this.
