Property 'Submit' of Object #<Htmlformelement> Is Not a Function

Property 'submit' of object #HTMLFormElement is not a function

Check the form to see whether there is a HTMLInputElement with id or name is submit.

This will set a property submit to the HTMLFormElement, so the submit function which is in the prototype of the form element can't be executed.

Example:

<form class="form" id="form" action="/mailer.php" method="post">
    ​<input type="button" name="submit" value="go"/>
</form>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

js:

​console.log($("#form")[0].submit)​;​  // will be the button element, not the submit function.

jQuery's .submit() method will call the .submit() on the original dom element, so the error will happen.

Uncaught TypeError: Property 'submit' of object #HTMLFormElement is not a function

It is because you have an input element with name submit in your form, rename it

<input type="submit"  value="Calculate" id="formsubmit" name="formsubmit" class="ajax-link" >

Submit is not a function error in JavaScript

submit is not a function

means that you named your submit button or some other element submit. Rename the button to btnSubmit and your call will magically work.

When you name the button submit, you override the submit() function on the form.

I can't submit a form with JavaScript

The main problem is that you named your submit button as submit. So, when you say

form.submit();

It tries to execute the button object, which is not a function. So, the fix would be to change the id of the submit button.

Working demo

Why won't my js form submit work?

<input type="submit" name="submit">

this is what's causing your issue, change its name to something else. because now this

document.getElementById('f0').submit();

is trying to access that input, and giving the error:

TypeError: document.getElementById(...).submit is not a function

You should have posted all your form code here, we could have found it faster :)

form reset button conflict with jquery reset

Yes there is a big difference here. When using jQuery, DOM elements called via jQuery styling (exp. $("addExpenseForm")) are given "properties". How these properties are written and added depends on the Element and it's use (and other stuff here and there, but that's another lesson).

Suffice it to say, when you create the from WITHOUT the reset button, then the "property" reset is indeed a function! It will return the following value when queried: function reset() { [native code] }.

However, when you add the button manually (aka. you place it in the HTML), then reset becomes THAT BUTTON and NOT A function. In other words it will return something like <input type="reset" value="Reset" class="reset" id="reset" name="reset" />.

Herein is your problem ...

If the BUTTON is ADDED VIA HTML Then use:

$('#addExpenseForm')[0].reset.click();

Else, The Button is not type="reset", but merely a button that says "reset" or just no button at all! Use:

$('#addExpenseForm')[0].reset();

OR

wrap it all up in one big if statement!

if (typeof $('#addExpenseForm')[0].reset == "function") {
    $('#addExpenseForm')[0].reset();
}
else {
    $('#addExpenseForm')[0].reset.click();
}

And just for Grins and giggles, here is that IF statement in one line:

typeof $("#addExpenseForm")[0].reset == "function" ? $("#addExpenseForm")[0].reset() : $("#addExpenseForm")[0].reset.click();

jQuery Submit not working with a

"Submit" is a reserved word. It conflicts with javascript. Just change the name of the input to something else.

From the jQuery documentation on the method submit():

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. For a complete list of
rules and to check your markup for these problems, see DOMLint.

form is not getting submitted

Change your html to: You have a form element with the name submit. Just rename it to othar(i have renamed it to sumit2).

<form name="myForm" method="post" id="myForm" action="ACTION_URL_HERE">
        <input type="hidden" name="txt1" id="txt1">
        <input type="hidden" name="txt2" id="txt2">
        <input type="hidden" name="txt3" id="txt3">
        <input type="submit" name="submit2" value="Submit">
    </form>
    <input type="button" value="Submit form" onclick="MyFunction();">

jQuery submit() will not work for me undefined property?

You made the following mistakes:

1. jQuery selector 'form' is too general and returns an array. So change it to '#myform'.
2. Also your javascript never allows your form to be submitted. The culprit is the last line : return false;. Even after successfully validating the form, this line blocked it. It should have been return true;. This mistake was pointed out by @11684, but no one understood him and was downvoted by some.

Anyways, here's the debugged code.

 function claim()
{
    var c = confirm('You sure?');

    if (!c) {
        return false;
    }

    var password=prompt("Please mention pw","");
    if (password!=null && password!="")
      {
            $.post("/claim/", { partner_pwd: password },
               function(data) {
                    if(data == '1')
                    {
                        $('#myform').bind('submit',function() {
                          alert('Handler for .submit() called.');
                        });
                    }
               });
      }

    return true;

}
