You can:

• Either, use an , instead of that button.
• or, Use a bit of javascript, to get a hold of form object (using name or id), and call submit(..) on it. Eg: form.submit(). Attach this code to the button click event. This will serialise the form parameters and execute a GET or POST request as specified in the form's method attribute.
