Trigger form submission in chrome javascript console

Just a little thing I've always wondered:

Is it possible to submit a form on any webpage, rather than clicking the forms submit button, I want to do it from the chrome console (ctrl+shift+j in chrome)?

I've tried a couple ways but I either get an error like

Cannot use function submit on undefined

or

HTML tag has not function submit.

Any help?

PS - If you go here and try and submit the form on your right through the console click here

It is inside an iframe in your example. In your case, you must enter this in the console for it to work:

var q = window.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[1];
var r = q.contentWindow.document.getElementById("frm1");
r.submit();

or, in just one line:

window.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[1].contentWindow.document.getElementById("frm1").submit();

For your example when working with an iframe:

 // from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1452871/how-can-i-access-iframe-elements-with-javascript
 function iframeRef( frameRef ) {
     return frameRef.contentWindow ? frameRef.contentWindow.document : frameRef.contentDocument
 }

 var inside = iframeRef( document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0] );


 // from @DeanGrobier
 form = inside.getElementById("frm1")

 form.submit()

form = document.getElementById("frm1")
form.submit()

works on your example when viewing the standalone iframe.
