Event.preventDefault(); Not Working When Submitting Form

I am trying to put the result from a submitted form in to a div instead of opening it inside a new window. The problem is that my event.preventDefault(); doesn't seem to be working

Solution 1:

My best guess is that you are adding your #contactForm submit listener before the form is actually rendered. Try wrapping your jQuery in $(document).ready(function () {});

I don't see any other issues.

Solution 2:

Using <script type="text/javascript"> , your script will not work, replace <script type="text/javascript"> with <script language="javascript">, It will work correctly. But language="javascript" is deprecated in favor of type="text/javascript". keep in mind you put the code $(document).ready(function(){ //code to be implemented// });

Anyhow your script will work by replacing type="text/javascript" with language="javascript"
