How to do a Jquery Callback after form submit?

I have a simple form with remote=true.

This form is actually on an HTML Dialog, which gets closed as soon as the Submit button is clicked.

Now I need to make some changes on the main HTML page after the form gets submitted successfully.

I tried this using jQuery. But this doesn't ensure that the tasks get performed after some form of response of the form submission.

$("#myform").submit(function(event) {

// do the task here ..

});

How do I attach a callback, so that my code gets executed only after the form is successfully submitted? Is there any way to add some .success or .complete callback to the form?

I just did this -

 $("#myform").bind('ajax:complete', function() {

         // tasks to do 


   });

And things worked perfectly .

See this api documentation for more specific details.
