This would ONLY make sense if you ONLY want to submit the form by clicking on #request-link. In that case you can combine it to

Code:

$("#request-link").live("click", function () {
    $("#request").submit(function() {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            cache: false,
            url: "forms/add.php",
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            success: function (data) {
                $('#result').html(data);
            }
        });
        return false;
    }).submit();
});

This will bind the .submit() handler ONLY when you click on the #request-link!
