submit form by clicking on it in javascript

To submit a form by clicking on it using JavaScript, you can call the submit() method of the form element. This can be done by attaching an onclick event handler to the form element.

Here's an example code snippet:

<form id="myForm">
  <!-- form fields -->
  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name">
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
  
  <!-- submit button -->
  <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitForm()">
</form>

<script>
  function submitForm() {
    // get the form element
    var form = document.getElementById("myForm");
    
    // submit the form
    form.submit();
  }
</script>

In this example, the submitForm() function is called when the submit button is clicked. Inside the function, we get the form element using the getElementById() method and then call the submit() method to submit the form.

Please note that the submit() method will trigger the form's submission and might cause a page refresh or redirection depending on the form's action attribute and the server-side code handling the submitted form data.
