<form method="post" action="load_statements.php?action=load" id="loadForm"
                            enctype="multipart/form-data">
that is my form, which looks fine to me. in that form, i put this button:
<input type="button" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" onclick="confirmSubmit()" class="smallGreenButton" />
here is the function it calls:
function confirmSubmit() {
    // get the number of statements that are matched
    $.post(
        "load_statements.php?action=checkForReplace",
        {
            statementType : $("#statementType").val(),
            year : $("#year").val()
        },
        function(data) {
            if(data['alreadyExists']) {
                if( confirm("Statements already exist for " + $("#statementType").html() + " " + $("#year").val() +
                    ". Are you sure you want to load more statements with these settings? (Note: All duplicate files will be replaced)"
                )) {
                    $("#loadForm").submit();
                }
            } else {
                $("#loadForm").submit();
            }
        }, "json"
    );
}
and as you can see, it calls $("#loadForm").submit();, but the form is not submitting (ie. the page is not refreshing). why is that?
thanks!
