/**
* ajaxForm() provides a mechanism for fully automating form submission.
*
* The advantages of using this method instead of ajaxSubmit() are:
*
* 1: This method will include coordinates for <input type="image" /> elements (if the element
* is used to submit the form).
* 2. This method will include the submit element's name/value data (for the element that was
* used to submit the form).
* 3. This method binds the submit() method to the form for you.
*
* The options argument for ajaxForm works exactly as it does for ajaxSubmit. ajaxForm merely
* passes the options argument along after properly binding events for submit elements and
* the form itself.

ajaxForm注释的含义,大致强调这点意思:
用ajaxform,要么form表单中包含可以submit的元素,要么方法在注册submit事件中调用。也就是说,用ajaxForm必须要有触发submit的方法,否则无法提交form。
相比而言,ajaxSubmit这个方法将直接触发form的submit提交。
