AngularJS: Call the ng-submit event outside the form

Question

Use HTML5’s form attribute, here’s a sample:

angular.module('app', [])

.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
  $scope.submitted = false;
  
  $scope.confirm = function() {
    $scope.submitted = true;
  };
}]);

form {
  padding:5px;
  border: 1px solid black
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="app">
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.2/angular.min.js"></script>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>JS Bin</title>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MyCtrl">
  
  <form id="myform" ng-submit="confirm()">
    <label for="myinput">My Input</label>
    <input type="text" id="myinput" name="myinput">
  </form>
  <br>
  
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" form="myform">
  
  <p ng-show="submitted">
    The form was submitted
  </p>

</body>
</html>
