The lack of any input tags in a view source is easy to explain. I've found that a view source will only show the *initial* HTML that was sent to the browser. Any changes due to AJAX or Dynamic HTML will not show up in a view source, but will show up using development tools which show you the active DOM.
As to why the button isn't being clicked, it isn't clear from the HTML below, but perhaps there is something in the onClick() handler that aborts the effects of the click. One thing I've done in our web scraping applications is to re-write the HTML before clicking to prevent some un-necessary events from firing.
