How can I create a submit button with parameter in the play framework

I'm a bit confused how I can create a submit button with parameter in play framework 2. I try this:

<form method="GET">
    <table class="table table-bordered table-hover">
        <tr>
            <th>@Messages("id")</th>
            <th>@Messages("errorCode")</th>
            <th>@Messages("errorMessage")</th>
        </tr>
        @for(telegram <- telegrams) {
        <tr>
          <td>@telegram.id</td>
          <td>@telegram.errorCode</td>
          <td>@telegram.errorMessage</td>
          <td><button type="submit" name="action" value="@controllers.routes.Telegrams.createTelegram(telegram.id)">Create Telegram</button></td>
        </tr>
        }
    </table>
</form>

In the routes file I add this line:

GET     /telegrams/createTelegram/:id  controllers.Telegrams.createTelegram(id: Long)

Nothing happens. No error. No controller call.

I don't know what's wrong.

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

Why does it have to be a form with a button for a simple HTTP GET? A link will do the same job:

@for(telegram <- telegrams) {
    <tr>
        <td>@telegram.id</td>
        <td>@telegram.errorCode</td>
        <td>@telegram.errorMessage</td>
        <td><a href="@controllers.routes.Telegrams.createTelegram(telegram.id)">Create telegram</a></td>
    </tr>
}

The URL should go to the action attribute of the form element (separate form for each loop iteration):

@for(telegram <- telegrams) {
    <form method="GET" action="@controllers.routes.Telegrams.createTelegram(telegram.id)">
        <tr>
            <td>@telegram.id</td>
            <td>@telegram.errorCode</td>
            <td>@telegram.errorMessage</td>
            <td><input type="submit" value="Create telegram" /></td>
        </tr>
    </form>
}
