jQuery form submit() is not working in IE6?

Question

I want to submit a with using jquery as below;

$(\"#formid\").submit();

Its working perfect in all browsers except IE6.

How to mak

Answer 1

I had a similar problem when I was about to submit the form via an A-element. I had set the href attribute to "javascript:;" to let the main jQuery script handle the actual submit but it just wouldn't work in IE6.

jQuery main script:

$(".submitLink").click(function(){
$(this).parent()[0].submit();
$(this).addClass("loading");
});

My solution was to change the href attribute from "javascript:;" to "#".

Answer 2

Just add a

window.setTimeout(function(){
    $("#formid").submit();
}, 300);
