jquery .submit() not triggering though am using $(document).delegate()

Question

 <div class="sld_dwn">
 <form class="sign_in_form" id='target'>
 <div>
 <a class="sign_in_data" >email:</a>
 </br>
 <input type="text" class="sign_in_box" name='txt1'>

File containing jquery code is sginin.js and am trying access jquery library from http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js
$("document").ready(function() { $("document").delegate('#target','submit',function(e) { alert('hi'); return false;
style given to the above div is
div.sld_dwn { position:relative; border-radius:0px; display:none; float:right; right:40px; background-color:#3E003E; background-color:RGBA(255, 255, 255,0.2); color:white; border:0px; width:450px; height:120px; }

This is not the way selecting the document ready handlers, This should be like:

$(document).ready(function() { 
//^------^--------------------------------remove the quotes and see if works
       $(document).delegate('#target','submit',function(e) { 
//  ----^-------^------------------------------------------------and this one too
          alert('hi'); 
          return false;
       });
 });
