title: JQuery form submit not sending post
body: <p>I am having trouble submitting a form with JQuery. The form submits correctly when the submit button is pressed, but when I try to use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#somebutton').click(function(){
    $('form#myForm').submit();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've additionally tried calling form submit from the Chrome console. </p>
  
  <p>The form is not submitted correctly - from looking at the chrome inspector, it seems that the post message is never sent. The page is still reloaded, but seemingly without the changes that would be from the post data being sent. </p>
  
  <p>Here's the form:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form id="myForm" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST"&gt;
    &lt;input id="firstOption" type="radio" name="radioSelection" value="1" /&gt;
    &lt;input id="secondOption" type="radio" name="radioSelection" value="2" /&gt;
    &lt;input type="button" name="submitbtn" value="Submit" title="Submit" /&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using JQuery v1.7.1. </p>
