 * Hi, I’m a bit confused. I’m trying to check some stuff by executing some Javascript
   when the save or publish buttons are clicked on. Everything seems to work fine
   except that I cannot keep the post submit from happening, because I can’t figure
   out how and where that is done. I suppose it’s done via some jquery (as I do 
   it) but I cannot find any useful reference to “save-post” or “publish” except
   the tag autosave function in “post.js”.
 * Where would I be able to find the save-post/publish-post onclick handler?
 * Thanks for your help!
