Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

I think you fire the submit event before the DOM is actually loaded, because if I try it, this code works:

$(document).ready(function(){

    // Submit handler, to prove everything works fine
    $('#umfrageForm').submit(function(){
        alert('hi');
        return false;
    });

    // Fire the submit event
    $('#umfrageForm').submit(); // alerts 'hi'
});

See: jsFiddle

Nope, I fired the event from the Firebug JS console, so the DOM is ready.

Answer 2

+1 A:

You have a field named submit, this clobbers the submit method of the form (with a reference to the DOM node for the field) that jQuery depends on in its own submit method.

Rename it.

Awesome. I already thought it had to be something like that, but didn't find the error... Thanks!
