HTML DOM Form Submit Method
The HTML DOM Form submit() method is used for submitting the form data to the address specified by the action attribute. It acts as a submit button to submit form data and it doesn’t take any kind of parameters.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for Form submit() method −
formObject.submit()
Example
Let us look at an example for the Form submit() method −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
form{
border:2px solid blue;
margin:2px;
padding:4px;
}
</style>
<script>
function ResetForm() {
document.getElementById("FORM1").reset();
document.getElementById("Sample").innerHTML="Form has been reset";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Form reset() method example</h1>
<form id="FORM1" method="post" action="/https/www.tutorialspoint.com/sample_page.php">
<label>User Name <input type="text" name="usrN"></label> <br><br>
<label>Age <input type="text" name="Age"><label> <br><br>
<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT">
<input type="button" onclick="ResetForm()" value="RESET">
</form>
<p id="Sample"></p>
</body>
</html>
Output
This will produce the following output −
On clicking the SUBMIT button the form will be submitted and the “sample_page.php” will display this −
In the above example −
We have first created a form with id=”FORM1”, method=”post” and action=”/sample_page.php”. It contains two input fields with type text and a button named SUBMIT −
<form id="FORM1" method="post" action="/https/www.tutorialspoint.com/sample_page.php"> <label>User Name <input type="text" name="usrN"></label> <br><br> <label>Age <input type="text" name="Age"><label> <br><br> <input type="submit" value="SUBMIT"> <input type="button" onclick="ResetForm()" value="RESET"> </form>
The SUBMIT button executes the SubmitForm() method on being clicked by the user −
<input type="button" onclick="SubmitForm()" value="SUBMIT">
The ResetForm() method gets the <form> element using the document object getElementById() method and calls the submit() method on it. This submits the form data to the address specified by the action attribute −
function SubmitForm() {
document.getElementById("FORM1").submit();
}
