datepicker - Auto-submit of the form when showing the calendar

[extrafu]

Hello,

Whenever a md-datepicker is added within a <form> ... </form>, it auto-submits the form as soon as the arrow drop down icon is clicked, to actually show the calendar to select a day.

This happens with the latest code.

Thanks,

Perhaps type="button" needs to be added to the template.

That patch fixes it for me:

diff --git a/src/components/datepicker/datePicker.js b/src/components/datepicker/datePicker.js

After further testing, sorry but it does not fix the issue.

Definitely should have type="button"
