Can I use Javascript to trigger save/submit page was created by maxrandolph

This is a follow-up to my previous question regarding submit buttons on every question page.

I've been attempting to save the answers on a page by clicking an html element within a question. I have tried using:

document.limesurvey.move.value = 'movenext';
document.limesurvey.submit();

as the onclick event, but does not seem to save the answers unfortunately. Is there a javascript method I can call to save the current answers?

Thanks.

Here is my current code:

Code:

<h1 onclick="myFunction()">submit</h1>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    function myFunction() {
      if($('#movesubmitbtn').length > 0) {
        document.limesurvey.move.value = 'movesubmit';
      }
      else {
        document.limesurvey.move.value = 'movenext';
      }
      document.limesurvey.submit();
        };
 
</script>

Try something like this to click the "Next" button.

Code:

$('#movesubmitbtn, #movenextbtn').trigger('click');
