125242 - Forms containing input elements with name="submit" cannot be submitted from javascript

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 72156

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Harshal Pradhan]

If a form contains an input element named submit, then trying to submit that
form using document.formName.submit() fails.

Javascript console reports:

Error: document.form1.submit is not a function
Source File: javascript: document.form1.submit()
Line: 1

Attaching testcase that demonstrates the problem.

Attachment: testcase

Clicking the first button fails to submit, and produces error on the JS
console. There is no problem at all with the second form. The only difference
between the two forms is that the first form contains an input element called
submit.
