Don't do this: It causes problems. Remove and recreate the element instead.Pekka– Pekka2010-11-01 10:24:08 +00:00Commented Nov 1, 2010 at 10:24

1what do you mean? This sounds like a bad idea anyway. Why would you want to change a submit button into a text field? What sense does that make?Pekka– Pekka2010-11-01 10:31:50 +00:00Commented Nov 1, 2010 at 10:31

You can't change that property type (don't know why but that is what firebug logs), so the best thing you can do is to totally remove the input-element and insert a new input with the correct type.
Use jQuery with something like this:
$('input[type=submit]').after("<input type='text' />");
$('input[type=submit]').remove();

jQuery forbids changing it because IE won't let you do it (webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2007/09/…) (and creating a workaround for this would be rather painful)

what do you use to check this restriction in Firebug. Which tab, section do you use to debug this problem?

I see it in the console tab. I've made a JsFidde to test this, and there you can see the log stating it : jsFiddle firebug log error when changing type attribute
