Description

The LinkSubmit component does not submit the form, when (the default) Prototype library is used. It works fine with jQuery.

The "submit" event and then "prepareForSubmit" are emitted, but then I lost track of the event chain.

Minimal example:

<t:form t:id="names">
    <t:label for="firstName"/>
    <t:textfield t:id="firstName"/>
    <t:linksubmit>Submit</t:linksubmit>
</t:form>

Workaround: Switch to jQuery.

Tested on Tapestry 5.4.3 and 5.4.2 / Oracle JDK 1.8.0_181
