rails 3 how do i submit a remote form with jquery and avoid callbacks

Question

I have a remote => true form and would like to submit it AND avoid a submit method.

Usually i would do

form$.get(0).submit()

form$.submit(function(){..avoid going here..})

but this sends the form as html instead of js. Any way to do this and get js in response?

Thanks!

Answer 1

man that i was a pain to find.

the answer is replace

$(form).get(0).submit()

$(form)[0].submit()

by

$(form).trigger("submit.rails")

this will skip all submit even listeners except the rails one.
