it may not be showing because of an error. Open your dev tools and see what the console says (most browsers support `` as the keyboard shortcut to open the dev tools)... — War10ck, Nov 20 '14 at 15:31

Well first thing I see if the button is not a submit button so not sure how the others are submitting the form.

<button id="sub" type="submit">Send</button>

If a button is inside a form, it will trigger a submit even without `type="submit"` unless it's explicitly set to `type="button"`. Odd but true! – Sam Hanley Nov 20 '14 at 15:35
