jQuery form submit not triggering

Question

I have 2 forms in one html file(Not nested). Each do their own thing and do not rely on each other. The problem i'm currently facing is that $(form).submit((event)=>{code}) only works on:

<form id="mainForm" action='' method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}

    <!--Cover image-->
    <ul class="error" id="coverImageLink_errors"></ul>
    <div class="cover-img">
        {{ mainForm.coverImageLink|add_class:'actual-img' }}
        <img src="#" id="cover" alt="Your image" style="color: black;">
    </div>

    <!--Music data part-->
    <div class="music-data">
        <ul class="error" id="albumName_errors"></ul>
        <label for="{ mainForm.albumName.id_for_label }">title</label><br>
        {{ mainForm.albumName }} <br><br>
    </div>
    <input id='albumSubmit' type="submit" value="Next" class="main-form-upload">
</form>

<script>
    $('#mainForm').submit((event)=>{
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log('AJAX CALLED FOR MAIN FORM');
    });
</script>

But not on:

<form id="AdvancedForm" action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %}
    <ul class="last-step-error" id="advancedForm.non_field_errors"></ul>
    
    <section id="main-section">
     
        <!-- compresso page -->
        <div id="compresso-page">
            <div class="parent">
                <div class="name">0. Hello world</div>
                <ul class="pre-errors">
                    <li>Video file is not supported</li>
                    <li>+2 more</li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
    
    </section>

    <div style="height: 20px;"></div> <!-- prevents collision with button -->
    <input type="submit" value="Release" onclick="alert('Advanced form submit pressed')">
</form>

<script>
    $('#AdvancedForm').submit((event)=>{
        event.preventDefault();
        console.log('AJAX CALLED FOR ADVANCED FORM')
        const url = '{% url "validate-upload-collection" %}'
    })
</script>

I see AJAX CALLED FOR MAIN FORM but not AJAX CALLED FOR ADVANCED FORM . The advanced form is display='none' by default

console.log(document.getElementById('AdvancedForm')) returns here

If you are confused with {{ something }} , it's just some django(Web framework) variable syntax. Those variables will be filled in on the server side so that is not present in the html.

Answer 1

It might be that onclick="alert('Advanced form submit pressed')" interferes with your handler. Try to remove that from the submit button.

One other thing I see is that the second form has no real fields? That might be another thing. Try adding <input type="text" name="test" />
