jQuery ::: Does remove really remove?

Question

I'm trying to remove a table row using jQuery, and while it disappears from the screen, and therefore, appears to work, in Firebug, I can still see the code for it. There are form elements in this row, and so, I want to understand whether the row is truly being deleted or not, because I wouldn't want those values submitted. So, does remove really remove? Below is the code I'm using... Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

if($('.delete')) {
            $(".delete").live('click', function(event) {
                $(this).closest('tr').remove();
            });
        }

The source of a page doesn't update with Javascript functions. If you inspect the DOM in Firebug you should be able to see the changes reflected.
