HTMLFormElement.submit()
The HTMLFormElement.submit()
method submits the form. This method does something similar to activating a submit button of the form.
The form's onsubmit event handler (for example, onsubmit="return false;")
will not be triggered when invoking this method from Gecko-based applications. In general, it is not guaranteed to be invoked by HTML user agents.

If a form control (such as a submit button) has a name or id of submit
it will mask the form's submit method.
