[jQuery] [validate] Form submission problem

[jQuery] [validate] Form submission problem


Hi,
I've got a form with a button-element as submit-button.
<form id="newadForm" name="newadForm" action="form.php" method="post">
...
<button type="button" class="form-button" name="submit">Send</button>
</form>
At the top of the page I've got this:
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("form#newadForm button.form-button").click( function() {
console.log("fire");
$("#newadForm").submit();
});
$("#newadForm").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
});
When I click the button, firebug tells me:
1. 'fire'
2. form.submit is not a function
What can I do?
