I ran across a strange conflict today while working with jQuery and a form. My form was doing nothing when I called the jQuery .submit(); function — no errors, but no submit. My code:

$('input.saveApplication').bind('click', function() {
... other code ...
$('#application').submit();
});


The issue was caused by having an element with ID ’submit’:
<input type='submit' id='submit' value='Submit'>


Once I realized what was happening it made sense but it wasn’t immediately intuitive to me. If you have this error double check your IDs and rename as needed!

As a professional web developer I have to deal with a fair share of e-mail messages every day. I like to look back at the end of year when I archive my old e-mails and tally up how many I’ve received in the last 12 months — this year it was 5,018 inbound and 2,398 hand-crafted outgoing e-mails for a total of 7,416 or about 30 e-mails sent and received each working day.
