Using JQuery - preventing form from submitting

Answer 1

When I am using <form> tag without the attribute id="form" and call it by its tag name directly in jquery it works with me.
your code in html file :

<form action="page2.php" method="post">

and in Jquery script:

$(document).ready(function() {
      $('form').submit(function(evt){
          evt.preventDefault();// to stop form submitting
      });
 });
