Not related to the problem, but you should have used onclick instead of onmousedown.
As to your problem, it lies somewhere else. To prove it remove the onmousedown/onclick and see. The actual problem can basically be either that the UICommand component isn't nested inside an UIForm component, or that the UICommand component isn't enabled/rendered/available during the apply request values phase of the submit request.
