Question: Particularly I need to hide the save/cancel buttons and some of the images such as the date picker. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks! :)

Answer: 
IE doesn't do well when using 'reserved' names as element's ID.

See this fiddle, your code works great if you change the ID of the input to something different than '#submit'

Make sure that the 'submit' element you are referring to actually exists at document load. If you are creating it dynamically, the 'on' function will have nothing to bind it to.
