Hi there Poirrier,

Thanks for reaching out! When it comes to forms and buttons, whenever there is a form with no button with plainly-stated "submit" type attribute, the first available button shall reclaim its functionality. Different browsers process buttons' default type differently, and most of the time (that is, except for the IE browser version 8 and lower) it's the "submit" type. There seem to be countless ways to avoid this behavior ranging from modifying your form, creating custom JS functions to stop propagation, but the seemingly easiest one is adding type="button" attribute the collapse buttons. Hope it helps.

With Best Regards,
Kuba
