Hmm...it looks like triggerHandler() is what I want. Because my goal is to not submit the form, which was the reason I was calling event.preventDefault() inside the click event.
I just thought it was confusing because in the click even of the button I was trying to prevent the default action of submitting the form by calling preventDefault, yet the form was still submitting. Thanks for pointing out triggerHandler.
