    /*
        Usage Note:
        -----------
        Do not use both ajaxSubmit and ajaxForm on the same form.  These
        functions are mutually exclusive.  Use ajaxSubmit if you want
        to bind your own submit handler to the form.  For example,
    
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#myForm').on('submit', function(e) {
                e.preventDefault(); // <-- important
                $(this).ajaxSubmit({
                    target: '#output'
                });
            });
        });
    
        Use ajaxForm when you want the plugin to manage all the event binding
        for you.  For example,
    
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $('#myForm').ajaxForm({
                target: '#output'
            });
        });
    
        You can also use ajaxForm with delegation (requires jQuery v1.7+), so the
        form does not have to exist when you invoke ajaxForm:
    
        $('#myForm').ajaxForm({
            delegation: true,
            target: '#output'
        });
    
        When using ajaxForm, the ajaxSubmit function will be invoked for you
        at the appropriate time.
