I have the following code:
        $(placeInDOM).replaceWith(header + fields + footer);
        $(placeInDOM).find(':submit').click(function() {
          alert("clicked the submit button");
          return false;
        });
The first statement places a form with a submit button in my page.
This works as it should.
With the second I want to give an alert instead of a submit when
clicking on the submit button. But it does not work.

When I after the first statement execute:
        alert($(placeInDOM).find(':submit').html());
I get
    null
If I execute:
        alert($(placeInDOM).find(':submit'));
I get:
    [object Object]

What am I doing wrong?

I found a workaround by using:
        $('.submit').click(function() {
But this only works when my form is the only form on the page. So it
is not very satisfactory.
