Question

I know that using $('form').submit() does not work when the submit button is named with the reserved name “submit”.

The annoying thing is that I can’t change the html of the form that I want to submit.

I thought a workaround would be to delete the input button before using $('form').submit(), but that doesn’t seem to work.

$('input:last').remove();
$('form').submit();

Does anybody know another solution for this problem?

You have two choices:

1.Create a formElement and use its .submit methods.

document.createElement('form').submit.apply($('form')[0]);

2.Use the .submit method form the prototype of HTMLFormElement

HTMLFormElement.prototype.submit.apply($('form')[0]);

The reason is stated in this answer.
