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

You can try    lt form action  product php  method  get  name  frmProduct  id  frmProduct  enctype  multipart form-data  gt    lt input onclick  submitAction this   id  submit value  type  button  name  submit value  value    gt    lt  form gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt  function submitAction element        element form submit       lt  script gt    Don t you have more than one form with the same name

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
