Ajax Form Submit - ajax

Question

the form is submiting as normal request instead of Ajax.
$(document).ready(function () {
StatusComments();
});
function StatusComments() {
$('.comment').submit(function () {
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
return false;
});
var options = {
beforeSubmit: showRequest,
success: showResponse,
resetForm: true
};
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
var textbox = $('#StatusMessageReplyMessage').val();
alert(textbox);
}
function showResponse(responseText, statusText, xhr, $form) {
}
}
i have a similar one for Status update like this
function StatusUpdates() {
$('#updateStatus').submit(function () {
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
return false; // prevent a new request
});
var options = {
target: '.user-status',
// target element(s) to be updated with server response
beforeSubmit: showRequest,
// pre-submit callback
success: showResponse,
// post-submit callback
// other available options:
//url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute
//type: type // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute
//dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type)
//clearForm: true // clear all form fields after successful submit
resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit
// $.ajax options can be used here too, for example:
//timeout: 3000
};
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
var textbox = $('#StatusMessageMessage').val();
if ((textbox == '') || (textbox == "What have you been eating ?")) {
alert('Please Enter Something and click submit.');
return false;
} else {
$('#StatusMessageMessage').attr('disabled', true);
}
}
function showResponse(responseText, statusText, xhr, $form) {
$('#StatusMessageMessage').attr('disabled', false);
$('.share').slideUp("fast");
$('#StatusMessageMessage').animate({
"height": "18px"
}, "fast");
}
}

Answer 1

Instead of
$('.comment').submit(function () {
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
return false;
});
Try
$('.comment').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
return false;
});
