.submit(function ()) inside my modal popup is not working, and my modal popup will send normal http post request

I am working on an asp.net mvc web application. on my main view i got the following create link:-

    <a class="btn btn-success" data-modal="" href="/Staff/Create" id="btnCreate">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span>      
    </a>


<!-- modal placeholder-->
<div id='myModal' class='modal fade in'>
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div id='myModalContent'></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

and i have the following script:-

$(function () {
    $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
    $("a[data-modal]").on("click", function (e) {

        $('#myModalContent').load(this.href, function () {
            $('#myModal').modal({
                keyboard: true
            }, 'show');
            $('#myModalContent').removeData("validator");
            $('#myModalContent').removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
            $.validator.unobtrusive.parse('#myModalContent');
            bindForm(this);
        });
        return false;
    });


});

function bindForm(dialog) {
    $('#myModalContent', dialog).submit(function () {

        if ($('#myModalContent').valid()) {
            $('#progress').show();
            $.ajax({
                url: this.action,
                type: this.method,
                data: $(this).serialize(),
                success: function (result) {
                    if (result.success) {
                        $('#myModal').modal('hide');
                        $('#progress').hide();
                        //location.reload();
                        alert('www');
                    } else {

                        $('#progress').hide();
                        $('#myModalContent').html(result);
                        bindForm();
                    }
                }
            });
     }
        else {
           return false;
   }
    });
}

Now when i click on the Create link the Create action method that will return the following partial view, which will be rendered inside a modal popup :-

@model SkillManagement.Models.Staff

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Create";
}

<h2>Create</h2>


@using (Html.BeginForm()) 
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

    <div class="form-horizontal">
        <h4>Staff</h4>
        <hr />
        @Html.ValidationSummary(true)

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.GUID, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.GUID)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.GUID)
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserName, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserName)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserName)
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsExternal, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.IsExternal)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.IsExternal)
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
            <div class="col-md-10">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)
            </div>
        </div>

        //code goes here
        <div class="form-group">
            <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
                <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
}

till now i have every thing working well, the Get Create action method will be called and the partial view will be rendered inside a modal popup.

but now inside my partial view if i click on "Create" button , the Post create action method will be called but not due to the javascript code . and when i check Request.IsAjax() inside my Post create action method, i got that it is not an ajax request which means the partial view send a normal Post http and not ajax request as defined inside the script,, can anyone advice what is wrong in my current approach ? Thanks

as you can see you just pass the #myModalContent node to the bindForm function, and jQuery selector looks for 

// will never find #myModalContent
$('#myModalContent', myModalContentDOMElement).submit(function () {

Instead you should do something like this

$('form', dialog).submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // stop the default form submit action

You are loading your form into the page via ajax, but the form you are loading is a regular html form if you want the form itself to use ajax, I believe are looking for @Ajax.BeginForm().

msdn documentation

@using (Ajax.BeginForm({objectparams})){
...
