Description
When attempting to submit a form using the code below jQuery core throws an error "target[targetType] is not a function".
$("#accountSettings").submit();
accountSettings is the id of the form to submit, the form also has the same name.
The following is a snippet of the jQuery core code where the error is being reported.
try { if ( target[ targetType ] ) { // Make sure that we don't accidentally re-trigger the onFOO events old = target[ "on" + targetType ]; if ( old ) { target[ "on" + targetType ] = null; } jQuery.event.triggered = true; target[ targetType ](); } // prevent IE from throwing an error for some elements with some event types, see #3533 } catch (triggerError) {} if ( old ) { target[ "on" + targetType ] = old; }
I have just discovered that jQuery does not submit the form if the submit button is named submit, perhaps this should be looked into or documented.
Hope this helps
