It makes no sense. There is no such concept, "call a button".

To submit anything means sending appropriate HTTP request. To do it bypassing standard Web form mechanism, you can use Ajax: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming)[^].

I would like to note that your question and attempt are rather the sign of not very reasonable design, not just code.

You can either call the buttons click event:

JavaScript

document.getElementById('logoutForm').click();

Or, call the forms submit event:

JavaScript

document.forms[0].submit();

... hope it helps.
