[jQuery] Submit Function Code Help

[Dave Maharaj :: WidePixels.com]

I have the same code one multiple pages and would like to clean that up. It
is for submitting a form via Ajax. The only thing different in the form
would be the form id , where its going and the validation rules. But all of
that is taken care of thru standard naming convections thru-out the site.
 
I have on the page with the form:
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#newEntry').bind('submit', function(testForm));
});
 
In the external js:
function testForm() 
 {
        var form_id = this.attr('id');
        var form_url =  $(this).attr('action');
        var page_target = form_url.substr(1).replace( new RegExp( "/" ,"g"),
"_" );
        var hide_form = page_target + '_form';
 
 
        alert(form_id);
        alert(form_url);
        alert(page_target);
        alert(hide_form);
 
        return false;
}
 
Can someone see where I am going wrong here so far?

No alerts or anthing.

Thanks
Dave
