That was it! Your change of `type="button"` to `type="submit"` worked. Thanks!

i imagine it was the removal of `form.submit()`

Jacob tweaked it further, but merely changing `type="button"` to `type="submit"` makes the code work. I'll take his other changes too, however, since it seems less hacky than my way.
