Its not needed, you can use the .submit() function to grab a form submit and make it return false so it doesn't redirect on submit.

Its always best practice to use .submit as it will return the data you require and return false (as already mentioned). More importantly for usability it will allow the browser to show consistent behaviour, for example if a person uses tabs or hits 'enter' on the keyboard to submit.
