“Submit is not a function” error in JavaScript

Question

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

Answer 1

This topic has a lot of answers already, but the one that worked best (and simplest - one line!) for me was a modification of the comment made by Neil E. Pearson from Apr 21 2013:

If you're stuck with your submit button being #submit, you can get around it by stealing another form instance's submit() method.

My modification to his method, and what worked for me:

document.createElement('form').submit.call(document.getElementById(frmProduct));
