Q1736 Why does document.myForm.submit() not work or return an error?

Mark Chrisman writes:

If your form contains a submit button named submit, then document.myForm.submit refers to that button instead of to the submit() function. Solution: give a different name to your submit button.

(Note that questions 71 and 932 also show different reasons why a form submission might not work.)
