The HTMLFormElement.submit() method submits a given <form>.
This method is similar, but not identical to, activating a form's submit <button>. When invoking this method directly, however:
- No
submitevent is raised. In particular, the form'sonsubmitevent handler is not run. - Constraint validation is not triggered.
The HTMLFormElement.requestSubmit() method is identical to activating a form's submit <button> and does not have these differences.
If a form control (such as a submit button) has a name or id of submit, this method will mask the form's submit method.
<input> with attribute type="submit" will not be submitted with the form when using HTMLFormElement.submit(), but it would be submitted when you do it with original HTML form submit.
