As posted, it is not a submit button, which is why this does not work 
without client-side scripting.  Bad idea.

However, the document tree can look different than the original markup.
See e.g. the “Elements” tab in Chrome Dev Tools for the former.

Then it is probably adding an “action” attribute to the form and calls the 
form’s submit() method.  Because there is no indication that this site 
supports CORS, and without CORS you cannot do XHR across origins.  (A cross- 
origin GET request without that would still be possible e.g. as JSONP, but 
that is not recommended here because of the browser’s URI length limit.)

Why should I care about your problems then?

And will you *please* trim your quotes to the *relevant* parts?
