Javascript Submit on click

Question

I have the next code:

document.myForm.mySubmit.click();

Where myForm - form name, mySubmit - submit name. I want to call submit of my form outside me form. My problem - my form doesn't have names(terrible?). How can I do this with help of id or classes?

Or may be you know another way?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you give the form an "id" you can:

 var form = document.getElementById('yourIdValue');
 form.mySubmit.click();

• Marcel Korpel: Now you click on the form? Will that submit it? I'd use the submit method.

Answer 2

better yet you can just use the submit method. no need for the button.

var currForm = document.getElementById('yourIdValue');
currForm.submit();

Answer 3

Here is an example

$('#my_button').click(
 function()
 {
 $('#my_form').trigger('onsubmit');
 // Or 
 $('#my_form').onsubmit();
 // or 
 $('#my_form').trigger('onSubmit');
 // or even --
 $('#my_form').submit();
 }
 );
