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.
I have found that this error will occur when using the onclick
attribute to call a JavaScript function with the same name as either the id
or name
attributes on an input
element:
<input id='foo' name='fooName' onclick='foo();'> <!-- BAD: id matches function -->
<input id='fooId' name='foo' onclick='foo();'> <!-- BAD: name matches function -->
<input id='fooId' name='fooName' onclick='foo();'> <!-- WORKS! -->
This behavior occurs irrespective of input type.
I hade a similar issue with safari recently on a bit of javascript to submit a form. Turned out to be due to the submit input element having the name="submit"
, which was conflicting causing it to return it as not being a function.
