.submit() silently fails if the form has a <input name="submit">

.submit() silently fails if the form has a <input name="submit"> or <input id="submit">

The event trigger function tries caling target[ type ] as a function without first checking to see if it is really a function.

On a form with <input type="submit" name="submit"> form.submit could be the submit button.

If it is, it might be smart to just trigger a "click" on it and hope for the best.

This might be a better solution for when target[type] is not a function:

document.createElement(target.nodeName)[type].apply(target)

This occurs for any element with the name of a form element property (length, action, method, etc.)
