Strange issue. GET request is sent but where?

My web page has multiple ajax requests and all works OK and all of them sending POST requests. On one form (dynamically created by jQuery) I have a button (jQuery-ui). Just that button, nothing else.

On button I attached a click event handler. In that function I have ONLY alert. When I click on that button, the function is called and alert is displayed. BUT when I click OK on that alert, somehow I'm sending a GET request.

My web site is on URL: http://localhost:9000/TestProjekat/main/

After pressing OK on alert I'm getting: http://localhost:9000/TestProjekat/main/?naziv=&pokrajina_drzava=-1

Where this come from? I've searched everything... I have no ideas! Help please...

You button triggers the form that's why. You probably also didn't set the method attribute that's why it does a GET. In your handler, do a return false or e.preventDefault() to prevent the default behaviour, your form won't get submitted.

Two ways :

$('#myBtn').click(function (e) {
   e.preventDefault(); // to cancel the default behaviour
   // do stuff here
});

Or : 

$('#myBtn').click(function (e) {
   // do stuff here
   return false; // to cancel the default behaviour
});
