JQuery - HTML form displays twice on screen after clicking submit button

JQuery - HTML form displays twice on screen after clicking submit button

Can someone assist with this issue? I found this code online but it is not working for me. After the 'Go' button is clicked the form is updated, then duplicated underneath. I'm trying to prevent the duplication. Any suggestions. 

See example here:  www.lsullivan.info/currency_converter.html   
(enter an amount, then click 'Go!')

Here is the code:

JS:
$("#myInputButton").click
function() 
{
//document.write("test_A");
$.post
//document.write("test_B"),
$("#converter").attr("action"),
$("#converter").serializeArray(),
function(info)
//document.write("test_C");
$("#result").html(info);
 return false;
//document.write("test_D");
}
);
//document.write("test_E");
}
);



$("#converter").submit( function() {
  //document.write("test_F");
  return false;
});



function clearInput() {
    $("#converter :input").each( function() {
       $(this).val('');
    });
}
