• javascript
• jquery
• html

• 1 You need the id="Save" because the # sign in your JQuery selector means it is selecting the ID following it (Save in your case). – Tricky12 Commented Sep 6, 2013 at 15:08

It appears your using jQuery with an id selector (# denotes an id), however the element doesn't have an id. Since the element does have a name attribute, an attribute selector can be used by jQuery. An appropriate selector would be:

$('input[name="Save"]').click(); //Assuming no other elements have name=Save

You could also change the markup to work with your existing selector by adding an id attribute:

<input id="Save" class="button" type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" onclick="OnSubmit(this.form);">

$("#Save").click() mean you target an element with the id save but you don't have any id on your input.

<input class="button" id="save" type="submit" name="Save" value="Save" onclick="OnSubmit(this.form);">

$('input[name=Save]').click(function(){
    alert('Do Something');
});
