// With Rails remote form helpers, the AJAX call is bound on the onsubmit attribute.
// Submitting that form via a framework (Prototype, jQuery, etc.) doesn't use the onsubmit 
// attribute's Javascript because it was never explicitly bound.  Is this really the only 
// way to have a framework trigger the code nestled within the onsubmit attr?

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("form").each(function() {
    var self = $(this);
    self.submit(function() {
      new Function(self.attr("onsubmit"))();
    });
  });
});
