29,514
Solution 1
You can do with javascript form method
<button onclick="document.forms[0].submit()"></button>
if you have multiple forms in the document then set id to the form
<form id="form1">
<input name="data" type="text">
<input type="submit" name="send" id="send-button" style="display: none">
</form>
<button onclick="document.getElementById("form1").submit()"></button>
Solution 2
Give the form a name:
<form name="myform">
<a href="javascript: submitform()">Submit</a>
</form>
Submit form function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitform()
{
document.myform.submit();
}
</script>
Invoke submission:
document.forms["myform"].submit();

I need to submit form by button which is out of scope of the form by JavaSript.
<form> <input name="data" type="text"> <input type="submit" name="send" id="send-button" style="display: none"> </form> <button onclick="$('#send-button').click() || .submit()"></button>
The button #send-button is visible and I need to send whole form to server. It means I receive $data and $send (both).
Now I am getting just the $data.
Any idea?

MakoBuk over 8 yearsOh, sorry. Now I tried to run it on JsFiddle and it works how I assumed. The problem is somewhere in my other JS libraries probably :-( When you look at request data, there are data input and submitted button name...
