How to Fix the Problem

See that this form contains a button to submit the form, prefarably one of the following element types: <input type=''submit''>, <input type=''image''>, or <button type=''submit''>

The Algorithm, in Simple Terms

Engine scans <form> elements for child element of the following type: <input type=''submit''>, <input type=''image''>, or <button type=''submit''>
