Rails spinoffs - Jun 2008 - Form submit listener not catching form.submit();

Event listener for a form being submitted is not catching an A tag
with a submit in it.

Example JS:
			$(form).observe(''submit'', function(e) {
				e.stop();
				// Something
			});


Example HTML:

<a href="#" onClick="myForm.submit();">Submit
form</a>

Any idea how to fix this without added more js to button?

Calling aForm.submit() does not get observed by any listeners.  Observe will
listen to the user generated event - a button or img tag, or pressing return
in a text box - but not to a submit() call.  Try observing for click and
submit and stop/forward to a 3rd function that handles the logic, or have
both fire a user event.
