OK I'm trying a simple anchor tag javascript that will trigger the submit instead of input-submit

here's my JS code

$(document).ready(function() {
    alert('1');
    $( "#vote-poll" ).click(function() {
        alert('2');
        $( "#form-vote" ).submit();
    });

    $( "#form-vote" ).submit(function( event ) {
        event.preventDefault();
        alert('3');

    });
});

Just assume every element is correct because I tried it in Firefox and it's working fine. I tried it in Chrome, it only alerts the "1". I tried it in Chrome on jsFiddle and it worked..

I really don't know whats wrong in this.

whether the elements in question are created dynamically after the page is loaded – Arun P Johny Sep 22 '14 at 04:47
change `alert('1');` to `alert('1: ' + $( "#vote-poll" ).length);` and see what is alerted – Arun P Johny Sep 22 '14 at 04:47
@Arun, it returns 0, why is that? – Roi Sep 22 '14 at 04:56

looks like your element is created after the script is executed... use [event delegation](http://learn.jquery.com/events/event-delegation/) – Arun P Johny Sep 22 '14 at 04:57

ok thanks Arun, but why is this happening in Chrome only? – Roi Sep 22 '14 at 04:59
tried the on(click, still the same – Roi Sep 22 '14 at 05:02
not sure... if you can share more context about how those elements are created we can have a better look – Arun P Johny Sep 22 '14 at 05:02
