Just use Live Query to bind the submit handler. It will only bind it once
per a new form element.
$('form.client').livequery('submit', function() { alert('boo'); return
false; });
Also, try to give the selector more scope, like a parent element with an ID.
$('#containerID form.client').livequery(...);
Could you upload an example somewhere that we could see?
