Question

Has never run into this issue? I’m getting this error in the latest release of jQuery. I tried with version 1.6.2 and there is no issue.

TypeError: '[object HTMLInputElement]' is not a function (evaluating 'elem[ type ]()')

line 3175

Has anything changed that we should be aware of?

Thanks,
Jack

This usually happens if any of your input tag’s name is submit.
For example,

<form id="frm">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Post" />
</form>

On the above code, document.getElementById("frm").submit represents the input element. When you apply () to submit It shows this error.
