Submit is not a function
chris (2005-11-30 14:34:46)
This means you have a function trying to call the form's submit() method, but you also have a button which is called submit(). This causes a conflict in javascript, because the submit method is already bound to that button.
To solve the problem, simply change the name of the button so that name="moo" (or something). Your submit() call in your javascript function/method will now work.
It took me a while of hacking javascript and html to work that one out - hopefully this post will mean it only takes you a minute..

Bang on ... the default code provided by paypal has a submit button named submit. Just rename it to submit2 if you want to keep it.
Thanks for posting this; very helpful.
This information sir, has helped me significantly. "theButtonFormerlyKnownAsSubmit" now no longer inspires me to destroy property. Hah, wasted about 4 hours on this before I finally googled it. :(
You save me a lot of time. Thanks!
You saved me from what probably would have been quite a bit of frustration. Thanks.

Thanks saved me time
Thanks, that saved me a lot of time.
And I came up with something else:
I like my submit and want to keep it. I also have a 'onsubmit' hanging on the form wich does not fire if I do it your way. So instead of changing the name 'submit' I used onchange="submit.click(). I wouldn't have thought of that if it weren't for your post
Thanks a lot!!!!! saved a lot of time
thanks.
this was actually starting to send me mad
you saved my live thank you
Thank you for your post here!
You should pay attention to the ID of your button too. The same error will pop if you set your button ID to 'submit'.
Took me little time to figure it out after reading your post and removing my 'name's on the buttons.
thanks dude.... i have been trying this since a day....
Thanks very much for your post. Much appreciated.

wow this saves my lots of time, i am in this field since last three years but i didn't know that :)
Can't thank you enough man.
I don't have words to thank you for this very simple, but MOST valuable recommendation. I was working for few days to resolve this issue on one of my websites and after seeing your comment, I could only bang my head on the table.. Why I couldn't check your post earlier... I would have saved couple of days if I went through this earlier :S
Very grateful to you man.... thanks a lot.
