 <form action="demo_form.asp" id="name" method="get">
  First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>

i think this will work for you . but there is many other way we can do submit form by click event of button 


$("#submit").on('click',function(){
		
$(this).attr('type','submit').trigger('click');

});

1 .Suppose we have form with id "form1" and it contain the button type button with id submit than following code will help :


$("#submit").on('click',function(){
		
$("#form1").submit()

});


2. or Try to use type submit for the button instead of the type button 

<button id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" >Save</button>

instead of 

<button id="submit" name="submit" type="button" >Save</button>


i know second one is silly , lol
