I made a quick standalone page and it seems to work fine. Form submit throws an alert then PHP echo's whatever you enter in the field. It looks I have issues elsewhere in my code?
Here's the standalone page code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf=8"> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="form_search" method="post"> <label for="search">Search:</label> <input id="search" name="search_field" type="text"> <input id="btnSearch" name="search_button" type="submit" value="Go"> </form> <?php if($_POST['search_button']){ echo $_POST['search_field']; } ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/ libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $('#form_search').bind('submit', function() { alert('form sumitted'); }); </script> </body> </html>
