Question

I have the following form:

<form id="xx">
<button type="button">Submit</button>
<button type="button">Submit and Close</button>
<button type="button">Close</button>
</form>

How can I change the type of my buttons that contain the word “Submit” from a type “button” to a type “submit”?

Answer 1

$('button').filter(function(){
    return $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf('submit') != -1;
}).prop('type','submit');

first filter for buttons which have “submit” as text, then change the property.
