How to prevent buttons from submitting forms

by

You’re using an HTML5 button element. Remember the reason is this button has a default behavior of submit, as stated in the W3 specification as seen here:
W3C HTML5 Button

So you need to specify its type explicitly:

<button type="button">Button</button>

in order to override the default submit type. I just want to point out the reason why this happens.
