Calling a view from template works for “a” tag, but not for form button
I have the following in my Django template:
<form action="{% url 'explorer_api:authorize' %}" method="POST">
<input id="submit" type="button" value="Click" />
</form>
<a href = "{% url 'explorer_api:authorize' %}">Authorize</a>
Why does clicking on the form button will not do anything, but clicking on the a element will work fine and call the desired view?
