Use the jQuery submit() Method
You can use the submit() method to submit an HTML form (i.e. <form>) using jQuery.
The jQuery code in the following example will submit the form on click of the button (i.e. the <button> element) which has the type attribute set to button (i.e. type="button").
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Form Submit</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#submitBtn").click(function(){
$("#myForm").submit(); // Submit the form
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="action.php" method="post" id="myForm">
<label>First Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="first-name">
<button type="button" id="submitBtn">Submit Form</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
