Why can't I change the type of an input element to submit?
input, jquery, submit, types
Solution
function submit_button(button_id){
$('#' + button_id).prop('type', 'submit');
}
Be aware that this changes the type but not the value, so the button will still read "confirm".
A fiddle to prove it : http://jsfiddle.net/qeUxP/
Problem
I'm calling this function: ``` function submit_button(button_id){ $('#' + button_id).attr('type', 'submit'); } ``` to make this button type = submit instead of button.: ``` <input name="confirm_button" id="confirm_button" type="button" value="Confirm" class="login_btn" /> ``` and I get this error (in firefox): uncaught exception: type property can't be changed Are there any work arounds?
