CakePHP form submit not working - php

Question

I've just started working with CakePHP and I want to create a form that when it is submitted it calls a function in the controller. I'm using CakePHP version 2.6
The Code I currently have is:
view:
<div class="modal-body">
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Tweet', array('url' => array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'postTweet'))); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->textarea('Tweet', array('class' => 'form-control','rows' => '3', 'placeholder' => "what's happening?", 'maxlength' => '140', 'label' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->button('Close', array('class' => 'btn btn-default', 'data-dismiss' => 'modal', 'type' => 'button'));?>
<?php echo $this->Form->submit('Tweet', array('class' => 'btn btn-primary', 'type' => 'submit', 'div' => false)); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(); ?>
</div>
PostsController:
public function postTweet(){
//check if post is being made
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
//do something
}
}
HTML on page:
<form action="/posts/postTweet" id="TweetIndexForm" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<div style="display:none;">
<input name="_method" value="POST" type="hidden">
</div>
<textarea name="data[Tweet][Tweet]" class="form-control" rows="3" placeholder="what's happening?" maxlength="140" id="TweetTweet"></textarea>
<button class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal" type="button">Close</button>
<input class="btn btn-primary" value="Tweet" type="submit">
</form>
The problem is when I click the submit button nothing happens, I've checked in Firebug and no errors are in the console tab, no POST is made in the network tab and there are also no errors logged to the error log. Any help will be great thanks.
EDIT:
Solved I had JavaScript preventing the form from being submitted Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Use submit like ->
echo $this->Form->submit('Tweet', array('label' => false, 'name' => 'submit', 'class' => 'grayBTN', 'title' => '', 'alt' => 'Submit', 'error' => false));
It works I use it all the time .
The issue with your submit is 'type' => 'submit' is used in your code and you also specify $this->Form->submit too .
If you are specifying Button with type submit then its ok like ->
echo $this->Form->button('Submit Form', array('type' => 'submit'));
But in your case you have $this->Form->submit.. So you dont need to specify it explicitely.

Answer 2

try this
echo $this->Form->end(array('label' => 'Tweet','div' => false,'class' => 'btn btn-primary'));
