JQuery set form action in ajax script

Question

I am using this code:

 var frm = $('#myform');
    frm.submit(function (ev) {

        $.ajax({
            type: frm.attr('method'),
            url: frm.attr('action'),
            data: frm.serialize(),
            success: function (data) {
                alert('ok');

            }
        });

        ev.preventDefault();
    });

I Tried:

frm.submit(function (ev) {

   $("#myform").attr('action', 'myurl');

    .....

But that didn't work.

Is there a way to set the form action url after "frm.submit(function (ev) {" ?

Just concatenate? This is a simple question google would have solved easily. — Sterling Archer

I tried adding "$("#myform").attr('action', 'theUrl');" after frm.submit(function (ev) { but it didn't work which is why I'm asking — Satch3000

then something else is going on. are you debugging the form action as you manipulate it? there's so much unsaid details you havent listed — Sterling Archer

Your code should work fine but you have to enclose it in DOM ready or placed it at the end of your page.

$(document).ready(function() {
    //your code
});
