• javascript
• html
• jquery
• forms
• validation

• Can you post your HTML <form> in your question too. – AndrewL64 Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 10:23
• html form are too long – patel jay Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 10:28
• You might need to manual type check if the requested form is actual a form. Something like this if (typeof(form) == <SOME_TYPE>) {form.submit()} – user11367277 Commented Jan 11, 2019 at 10:31

You most probably have a button or input in your form with id="submit" and/or name="submit" like this:

<form>
  <input type="text" name="someName" />
  <input type="email" name="someEmail" />
  <!-- Other form elements -->
  <button type="submit" name="submit" id="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

This will change form.submit() to a field reference rather than a method call. You can verify this by console logging form.submit() which will most probably return the <button type="submit" name="submit" id="submit">Submit</button> element instead.

To fix this, you need to either remove the id="submit" and/or name="submit" attributes or change them to something else like this:

<form>
  <input type="text" name="someName" />
  <input type="email" name="someEmail" />
  <!-- Other form elements -->
  <button type="submit" name="submitBtn" id="submitBtn">Submit</button>
</form>

simply change input type submit or button type submit name = submit to othername and id name also same as name

  <input type="submit" name="submit"  id= "save" class="btn green"> 
    change to like this and error solved in my case 
    <input type="submit" name="save"  id= "save" class="btn green">
