Submitting a form with a button using JS/Jquery

I'm new with JS and I have a very simple question. I want to submit a form with a button which located outside of it.

The form header looks like this: 

<form action="http://www.google.com" method="get" id="myform">

The button looks like this: 

<input type="button" value="Click Me" id="send">

The JS file is:

document.getElementById("send").onclick = function() {
    document.getElementById("myform").submit();
};

And it is not working. When I clicked the button nothing happens. Any idea? Jquery will be also fine for me instead of vanilla JS.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

I Prefer using JQuery to submit a form.

There are other posts on stackoverflow covering the topic of submitting a form using JQuery. You can check out this one Submit form using jquery

If I may add something that might come in handy if you have validators on the form, for required fields for example. You could add a check before you submit the form to see if all the fields are valid. Your button click method may look something like this:

function SubmitButtonClick(){
    var form = $('#myForm');
    form.validate();
    if(!form.valid())
      return false;
    else
      form.submit();
})

Obviously you should just remember to add the method to the button's onclick like so:

<input type="button" value="Click Me" id="send" onclick="SubmitButtonClick()" />

try this:

window.onload = function(){
document.getElementById("send").onclick = function() {
    document.getElementById("myform").submit();
};}

or 

document.getElementById("send").onclick = function() {
document.getElementById("myform").submit();}

after 

<input type="button" value="Click Me" id="send">

You can try get the id of the form. And you call it from wherver you want.

Try:

$(".button").click( function() {
    $('#myform').submit();
});
