trigger jquery form submit script

Question

I have a validation script that runs when a user clicks the form submit button.

I want to pass variables to this form and auto execute the validation script by injecting a piece of code.

I have tried this:

 $('#theform').submit();

but it bypasses the validation that would have happened had a user manually clicked the button.

is there a way to emulate a user 'click' and execute the form submit triggers.

i want to trigger this... $('#theform').submit( function() { }); — brian wilson

fixed, by placing inside this

 jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  // Code using $ as usual goes here.  
 });

Try this:

$("#theform").submit(function() {
    // If the validation function returns true, then submit
    if(my_validation_function())
        return true;
    // If the validation function returns flase, don't submit
    return false;
});
