If you're trying to replicate the functionality of a submit button,
then the link would only submit the form it's contained in. A regular
submit button wouldn't submit any form (unless I'm mistaken) if it's
not within the <form> tags anyway. So why not something like this?
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a.formlink').click(function(){
$(this).parents('form').submit();
return false;
});
});
This way you can have multiple forms on the page if needed.
