Sep 3 '15 at 10:35 2 No. that should be ok @AdamM. –Neal Sep 3 '15 at 17:25 Ok. I came here because of this problem, then I removed my onsubmit and it worked. Now I can't reproduce it anymore hmmm so ye it should be ok as you said. –Adam M. Sep 4 '15 at 7:19 @AdamM. your onsubmit was probably doing something that stopped the default action or something (or prevented event bubbling etc) –Neal Sep 4 '15 at 15:48 I wish there were a better way because lots of people name and id their submit button with "submit". –joshreesjones May 8 at 20:15 add a comment| up vote 10 down vote This is probably because the form contains input with name=submit; then the submit property contains object of the element. Rename it or use document.createElement('form')
html, World Wide WebStoimen .submit() You want to submit the form by clicking on a link or http://www.stoimen.com/blog/2010/07/05/document-formsmyform-submit-is-not-a-function/ some other element on the page and this is http://troyworks.com/blog/2009/10/17/form-submit-is-not-a-function/ a simple task. You know that by simply adding something like document.forms[‘the-form-name'].submit() this will work.
However you'd like to submit the form not only by is not clicking on that particular element, but also by clicking on the Enter while the focus is on a input field, and this wont work! That's because you don't have a input type="submit". OK, first thing is to add a hidden input type="submit" - than by clicking both is not a on the Enter keyboard button and on the link with the onclick="document.blah.blah.blah" will submit the form. But this is not true! Than you'll receive the following message: document.forms['myform'].submit() is not a function Why? This isn't working, but ever line seems to be OK. The answer is - don't name the input type="submit" with the trivial - "submit". Just give it another name: CodeProjectRelated posts: Secure Forms with Zend Framework Detecting POST Requests in Zend Framework One Form - Multiple DB Records How to Setup Different Error Messages for Each Zend Form Element Validator How to Sanitize User Input in PHP? Post navigation &larvia ExternalInterface and javascript, what's odd is worked fine, after updating, ran into that odd error, alerting showed that I was talking to the form, but calling submit function failed. Solution was to rename the submit button in that form to submit2 as javascript was getting confused. I found that great solution on this post. Apparently it's quite common for services to names the submit button 'submit' Here's a good protocol to follow 1) make sure that the html works given to you by the provider works with your various user id as provided 2) create a dummy function that calls that form via javascript, if you get the above error change the name of the javascript. 3) then add the rich validation or in flash call that function with ExternalInterface.
