javascript - Backbone.js / jQuery Form Submission -

i seem having issue little snippet. i've fiddled quite time , never seems catch form submission, no matter how set view object. i've come understand backbone, view model supposed tie dom through jquery (although not necessary), why planned on catching submit in fashion ensure simple serialization , ajax posting. although, every time submit never see "caught submission!" in console log.

any issue appreciated.

thanks comments above, able working changing last portion of code below reflect submit event view object, rather submit event form tag within view object.

/**  * form view  */ stratus.views.form = backbone.view.extend({     tagname:'form',     el: '#formasync',     events: {         'submit': 'catchsubmit'     },     initialize: function() {         console.log('form initialized');     },     catchsubmit: function(e) {         console.log("caught submission!");         e.preventdefault();     } });
