selector.submit() fails when using jQuery selector to grab form

[kevcom]

When submitting a form using the GET method with many fields and a large URL query string with spaces and special characters..., using the jQuery method .submit() throws a syntax error exception in Firebug.

Using the standard Javascript getElementById does not throw this exception and submits the form properly. This error also causes the page to lose functionality (links stop working).

This is so vague as to be useless for bug reporting purposes. Please ask for help on the forum.
