Comment (by alexvorn2):

 Replying to [comment:7 woodent]:
 > @alexvorn2 Ah, but the `e.preventDefault()` is there to prevent the form
 from actually being submitted. The JavaScript handles updating the widget
 and allowing the form to submit would cause the page to reload and the
 user's state on the widget page would be lost.

 I tested and everything is fine for me, no page reload, if you think this
 function should stay - maybe move to other place (ex: after validation
 check)...
