Button to run Splunk query | outputlookup

Hi,

Sorry for repeating questions, that were already answered in...

https://community.splunk.com/t5/Dashboards-Visualizations/Button-to-run-splunk-query/m-p/576236#M472...

I'm trying to make a simple outputlookup with user's confirmation window and I'm struggling with the following issues:

1. Every time I refresh the page the query executes by itself but when I press the submit button, nothing happens.

2. How can I make a comment or popup or display some message after clicking the submit button: "Thank you for clicking" + writing a click time.

This is what I have for now

<form script="test_submit.js">
   <row>
      <panel id="test">
         <table>
            <search id="base">
               <query>index=_internal 
| head 10000
| bin _time span=12h 
| stats count by sourcetype source name _time</query>
               <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
            </search>
            <option name="count">6</option>
            <option name="dataOverlayMode">none</option>
            <option name="drilldown">none</option>
            <option name="percentagesRow">false</option>
            <option name="rowNumbers">false</option>
            <option name="totalsRow">false</option>
            <option name="wrap">true</option>
         </table>
      </panel>
   </row>
   <row>
      <panel>
         <html>
            <div>
               <button type="button" id="buttonId" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
            </div>
         </html>
      </panel>
   </row>
   <row>
      <panel>
         <search base="base">
            <query>| eval time = now() | outputlookup append=t users.csv</query>
         </search>
      </panel>
   </row>
</form>

JS

require([
        'jquery',
        'splunkjs/mvc',
        'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'
    ], function ($, mvc) {
    function submit_btn() {
                var submittedTokens = mvc.Components.get('submitted');
                var defaultTokens = mvc.Components.get('default');
                if (submittedTokens && defaultTokens) {
                        submittedTokens.set(defaultTokens.toJSON());
        	       }
            }
    $('#buttonId').on("click", function (){
        submit_btn();
    });
   });

Thanks a lot
