[jQuery] How to submit a form with an Anchor rather than an Input tag?

[Tintin81]

Hi,

I have a very simple contact form that I would like to submit using an
anchor rather than an input tag. This is what I've got so far:

[code]<a class="button" href="javascript:{}"
onclick="document.getElementById('contact-form').submit(); return
false;">Send</a>[/code]

Unfortunately, it doesn't work :-(

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks a lot...
