jQuery binding ajaxStart and ajaxComplete to a form type? -

my app has several jquery-ui-dialogs, different things. here's common template between them:

<div class="dialog-content">     <form accept-charset="utf-8" action="/not-unique" class="not-unique" data-remote="true" id="not-unique" method="post">     <div class="ui-dialog-body">  fields     </div>     <div class="ui-dialog-footer">         <input class="button" id="not-unique" name="commit" type="submit" value="not-unique">         <input type="button" class="button" name="cancel" value="cancel">     </div> </form> </div> 

what i'd anytime .dialog-content form submitted, disable submit button users don't submit multiple times.

so far have:

$(".dialog-content").live("submit",function(){      // comment ajax ui, spinner, disable - needs inside submit work dynamically     $("form", this).ajaxstart(function() {         // disable button         $("input[type=submit]", this).attr("disabled", true);     });     $("form", this).ajaxcomplete(function() {         // re-enable button         $("input[type=submit]", this).removeattr("disabled");     }); }); 

but doesn't seem work. goal not have write every dialog once works dialogs.

thoughts?

ajaxstart/complete global event, can't tell form for.

is jquery ui dialog doing ajax automatically or calling somewhere else? if doing automatically, have @ api... fires custom event on form, "formsubmitted", bind instead:

$("form", this).bind("formsubmitted", function() {     // re-enable button     $("input[type=submit]", this).removeattr("disabled"); }); 

if you're calling ajax yourself, trigger "formsubmitted" on form in ajax success handler.
