JQuery .trigger('submit') breaking

Question

Im finding that because all the forms that Im working on have a submit button which inlcudes a \'name=\"submit\"\' attribute, that the trigger submit is breaking when I clic

Answer 1

It's because you've given your submit button a name of "submit". Because this is already a property of the form object, it messes with the binding of the submit event.

See this note from the jQuery docs:

Forms and their child elements should not use input names or ids that conflict with properties of a form, such as submit, length, or method. Name conflicts can cause confusing failures.

Change the name of your submit button to anything else ("form_submit", for example) and it'll work.
