Error: Form elements must not be named “submit”. Posted: 30 Jul 2009 03:28 AM PDT I recently encountered a jQuery alert error that says Error: Form elements must not be named "submit". It appears when submitting a jQuery upload form using ajaxForm() The weird thing is that I didn’t have any form elements with the name submit. So I took on the quest of finding where the error is coming from. Inspecting the *.js files that my component is using revealed line 54 of the jquery.form.js file which contains $(':input[@name=submit]', form).length From API/1.3/Selectors, it says that Note: In jQuery 1.3 [@attr] style selectors were removed (they were previously deprecated in jQuery 1.2). Simply remove the ‘@’ symbol from your selectors in order to make them work again. I probably got the problem when I replaced my jQuery version from 1.2 to 1.3. Now, I either have to modify that line to remove the @ symbol or replace my version of jquery.form.js.
