Thanks for responding, Naftoli. I tried changing the code to:
def handleSubmit() = { Log.info("GOT A SUBMIT IN INVITE") net.liftweb.http.js.JsCmds.Run("alert('Hey')") } ajaxForm( bind("elem", xhtml, "submit" -> submit("Click", () => handleSubmit() ), ) ++ hidden(() => handleSubmit()) ) The handleSubmit method is still not called. I tried using ajaxButton instead of submit but that did not help either. What am I doing wrong?
