Javascript Submit on click

Question

I have the next code:

document.myForm.mySubmit.click();

Where myForm - form name, mySubmit - submit name. I want to call submit of my form outside me form. My problem - my form doesn't have names(terrible?). How can I do this with help of id or classes?

Or may be you know another way?

Thank you.

show some concise version of the code

If you give the form an "id" you can:

 var form = document.getElementById('yourIdValue');
 form.mySubmit.click();

Now you click on the form? Will that submit it? I'd use the submit method.

better yet you can just use the submit method. no need for the button.

var currForm = document.getElementById('yourIdValue');
currForm.submit();

Here is an example

$('#my_button').click(
    function()
    {
        $('#my_form').trigger('onsubmit');
        // Or 
        $('#my_form').onsubmit();
       // or 
        $('#my_form').trigger('onSubmit');
       // or  even --
        $('#my_form').submit();
    }
 );
