Submits the form containing this element (or this element if it is itself a FORM element). his command is a no-op if the element is not contained in a form.

The command submitForm() will automatically wait for the element to be present (until the specified timeout). If the element is not found, an error is thrown which will cause the test to fail. You can suppress element not found errors by specifying the selector argument as an object and passing the suppressNotFoundErrors = true option.
