jQuery.submit is deprecated as of 3.3 what's the alternative?

Question

By checking the source you can see:

/**
 * Bind an event handler to the "submit" JavaScript event, or trigger that event on an element.
 *
 * @param handler A function to execute each time the event is triggered.
 * @see {@link https://api.jquery.com/submit/}
 * @since 1.0
 * @deprecated 3.3
 */

However it seems this isn't mentioned in the jQuery blog here. What is the alternative for this that it's now being marked deprecated?

Answer 1

You can use .on

$(selector).on("submit", callback)

Read more about it at http://api.jquery.com/on/

Answer 2

I was also searching for this but in my case I wanted to trigger submit. In that case you do it by triggering the event:

$(selector).trigger("submit")

Answer 3

It isn't deprecated, you can check here the .submit() API docs:
