How to redirect to another page using Scala Template

I have two html pages: /algorithrms and /algorithms/add written in scala template. The route file contains following lines:

GET     /algorithms                 controllers.Application.algorithms()
GET     /algorithms/add             controllers.Application.newAlgorithmForm()

I want to add a button in the page /algorithms and when I click that button, it simply redirects to the second page /algorithms/add. I know how to do this in JavaScript. I just want to call an action from the button click and then let the action redirects me to the landing page.

So I added the following code in the first page's html template:

    @form(action=routes.Application.newAlgorithmForm()){
        <input type="submit" value="Add">
    }

It worked, but the landing url is: http://localhost:9000/algorithms/add?

I don't want that question mark. I want to know 1) what I did wrong to cause the question mark to generate and 2) how to remove it?

I do not know if you use Twitter bootstrap, but hyperlinks can look like buttons too, and the redirect to another page sounds to me like a plain hyperlink:

<a class="btn" href="@controllers.routes.Application.newAlgorithmForm()" >
  @Messages("add.newAlgorithmForm")
</a>
