"Submit is not a function" error in JavaScript
dom, html, javascript, submit
Solution
submit is not a function
means that you named your submit button or some other element `submit`. Rename the button to `btnSubmit` and your call will magically work.
When you name the button submit, you override the `submit()` function on the form.
Problem
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong with this code? I tried to submit a form with JavaScript, but an error ".submit is not a function" shown. See below for more details of the code: ``` <form action="product.php" method="get" name="frmProduct" id="frmProduct" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input onclick="submitAction()" id="submit_value" type="button" name="submit_value" value=""> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> function submitAction() { document.frmProduct.submit(); } </script> ``` I also tried this: ``` <script type="text/javascript"> function submitAction() { document.forms["frmProduct"].submit(); } </script> ``` Both show me the same error :(
