“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

I had the same issue when i was creating a MVC application using with master pages. Tried looking for element with 'submit' as names as mentioned above but it wasn't the case.

For my case it created multiple tags on my page so there were some issues referencing the correct form.

To work around this i'll let the button handle which form object to use:

onclick="return SubmitForm(this.form)"

and with the js:

function SubmitForm(frm) {
    frm.submit();
}
