function after clicking on submit not working

Question

Whenever I try to run this script it say "Unexpected token ILLEGAL"

<form name="abc" id="fform" class="contactform">
                    <p>
                    <label for="name">Name:</label><br /><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" class="input" /> <br/>
                    <label for="email">Email:</label><br /><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" class="input" /> 
                    </p>
            <input name="send" id="submit_btn" class="submit_btn"  type="submit" value="Join" />
                </form><!--end contact form-->
                <script>
                $(document).ready(function(){
                    $(#fform).submit(function() {
                    alert("asd");
                });
});
    </script>

I am trying to create a function that when I click on submit it creates an ajax call to insert values into the database.

This is what syntax highlighting is for. See the string in alert is red? The parameter of your jQuery selector should be a string, and so it should be red too. — Bill

You need to wrap your id in quotes:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#fform').submit(function() {
// ---^ here ^ ----------
        alert("asd");
    });
});
