You are missing an "action" on your form for the submit. I'm assuming you have some sort of handling for the form, so you need something like:

<form method="get" id="searchform" name="search-page" action="/go/to/success.html">

You are missing $ in front of the form selector, so the submit method is called on a string which is resulting in an error

$(function () {
    $("#chartName").change(function (e) {
        //missing $ here
        $('#searchform').submit();
    });
});
