jquery not working in IE, form field "is undefined"

I'm using jquery to strip commas from a form field on submit so the form plays nice with the next step. The jquery script works in Chrome and Firefox but not IE.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#submit").click(function () {
        $(price1).val( $(price1).val().replace(/,/g,'') );
    });
});</script>

and the form field is simply: 

<input name="price1" id="price1"   value="" size="32">

What am I missing? Any suggestions?

That worked! The commas are stripped and I actually understand your solution. Thank you

Change $(price1) to $("#price1"). Some browsers turn all IDs into global variables, but this isn't the standard way to access them.
