BeginUmbracoForm + ng-submit

API Questions
Is it possible to submit an MvcForm using AngularJS? I'm rendering the form like so:
```
@using (Html.BeginUmbracoForm("Action", "Controller", FormMethod.Post,
    new { name = "enquiryForm", ng_controller = "FormCtrl", novalidate = true, ng_submit = "submitForm()" } ))
{
    ... // form fields
    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Message)
    @Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.Message, new { ng_model = "formData.message", required = true })
}
```
Controller is simple, but will ultimately include a service reference to post the form:
```
.controller('FormCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {

    $scope.formData = {};
    $scope.submitForm = function () {
        console.table($scope.formData);
    };
} ]);
```
At the moment, the submitForm method is not called. Angular knows about the form as the validation classes are all set correctly.

I want to submit using AngularJs and fallback to the browser POST if javascript is not available.

Hi!

ng-form documentation: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngSubmit

I think since your form has the "action" attribute your directive is not called. However you could submit your form if you subscribed to your button's click event and do: angular.element("#formId").submit() or with jquery: $("#formId").submit(); Of course the default event needs to get prevented.

So as a demonstration I'd use jQuery:
```
$(".submit-button").on("click", function (event) {
    // prevent the default event - form won't get submited unless you manually do
    event.preventDefault();

    // do whatever you need before submitting

    // then submit
    $("#formId").submit();
});
```
cheers, Peter

Thanks Peter, not sure how I missed that given it's the first freaking line of the Angular docs...
