Javascript select onchange='this.form.submit()'

I have a form with a select and a few text inputs. I'd like the form to be submitted when the select is changed. This works fine using the following:

onchange=this.form.submit()

However, if the form also contains a submit button, then the form does not submit when the select is changed. I'm guessing some kind of conflict.

What are my options here?

Should I use something like
$(this.form).trigger(submit)
instead?

You should be able to use something similar to:

$('#selectElementId').change(

    function(){

         $(this).closest('form').trigger('submit');

         /* or:

         $('#formElementId').trigger('submit');

            or:

         $('#formElementId').submit();

         */

    });
