Because your JavaScript is doing a Post command. All this is automatic within a form, as it was back in the '90’s! You don’t need any JavaScript to post when the submit input button is within the form.

For your scripts etc., maybe show the whole file here if possible. As a disclaimer though I won’t be providing code solutions until you consider the decision I put before you here: [Passing Variable to the Method - #15 by Jawfin](https://discourse.cakephp.org/t/passing-variable-to-the-method/9199/15)
