Backbone on('add') not being called - backbone.js

Question

I defined the add handler on my collection:
var BookmarksCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
initialize: function() {
this.on('add', function(obj) {
console.log(obj.get('title') + ' added');
});
},
url: '/bookmarks',
model: Bookmark
});
And it's being called from one of my views:
var AddView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: $('#entry'),
events: {
'click #submit': 'submitHandler'
},
submitHandler: function(event) {
if($('input').val()) {
var newBookmark = new Bookmark;
newBookmark.set({url: $('input').val()});
console.log('Save!');
newBookmark.save({
success: function(newBookmark) {
console.log('Success!');
myBookmarks.add(newBookmark);
myBookmarks.trigger('add', newBookmark);
}
});
}
}
});
However the add handler on my collection is never triggered. In fact, not even the success function in the view seems to be called.
But the newBookmark gets saved anyway, so no errors happening.
What am I missing?
NodeJS respond with 201 (Created) when a new bookmark is posted.
Maybe backbone expects a 200 (OK) to trigger success?
EDIT: I tried triggering the event from outside the success function and it works.
How can I tweak backbone to react to a 201 (Created)?

I think the issue is that he first argument of save should be the data you are trying to save. The second is the options which can include the success and error callbacks.
newBookmark.save({dataiwanttosave: "hi"}, {
success: function(newBookmark) {
console.log('Success!');
myBookmarks.add(newBookmark);
myBookmarks.trigger('add', newBookmark);
}
});
