unbrowse and look at the html.
There are 3 input fields, but no form.
Does the form get created by js along the way?
If so, it would be inserted before, or after stuff, but it's hard to see how the input fields could be folded into that form.
I think there is no form, but js attaches a clickable function to submit,
so you can thus click on it even though it belongs to no form.
This would be an entirely new pathway for edbrowse.

What is really going on here, what do other browsers do, what should edbrowse do?

Hi Karl,

You are right, there is no form, just a
click-able function, which reads the
cost input, and divides it by 649, assumed
the cost of an iPhone, and if I input 2500,
and operation as the procedure, it adds
3 lines to the page -

  That's only 4 iPhones
Share on Facebook or Share on Twitter
  #iPhoneOrHealthCare

The 2 'share' items are now a hyper links to
facebook.com, with some text, and
twitter.com, with some text...

Both text of course contain this sites URL

So there is NO form... just js to build up some
text... no actual 'submit' in the usual sense of
a form... the 3 lines are already there, but
marked div style='display:none', which assume
is removed after the jquery $('#results').show();
runs...

Not sure if one should take it serious, or as a
joke, but it seems eb should handle the click
event, run the js, and add those 3 amended lines...

Does not seem like too much of a new pathway...

Just my 2 cents ;=))

Regards, Geoff.
