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

giving a form element a name of submit will simple shadow the submit property   make sure you don t have a form element with the name submit and you should be able to access the submit function just fine

Possible solutions - 1 Make sure that you don t have any other element with name id as submit  2 Try to call the function as onClick    return submitAction     3 document getElementById  form-name   submit

Make sure that there is no another form with the same name and make sure that there is no name  submit  or id  submit  in the form

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
