Rails - Apr 2006 - link_to_function with submit

I looked everywhere but couldn''t find it.

I don''t want a submit_tag or image_submit_tag but a normal link that 
submits my form.

Normally I would do this with a javascript like

function sendForm ()
{
  document.forms[0].submit();
}

but this doesn''t work with form_remote_tag

link_to_function( ''Send'' , "sendform();")

So the question is:
how do I send my ajax form?

Thanks in advance
Peet

Peter, I did not try it myself, but I believe you can create helper
similar to the submit_to_remote, but creating link instead of button

looking at the source code

184:       def submit_to_remote(name, value, options = {})
185:         options[:with] ||= ''Form.serialize(this.form)''
186:
187:         options[:html] ||= {}
188:         options[:html][:type] = ''button''
189:         options[:html][:onclick] = "#{remote_function(options)};
return false;"
190:         options[:html][:name] = name
191:         options[:html][:value] = value
192:
193:         tag("input", options[:html], false)
194:       end

it should be easy to create submit_to_remote_as_link and change
"input" on line 193 to "a" and amend related attributes
(like :type to
:href)

just an idea

For security reasons you really should use a post to submit the form, a 
link is an exposure.

there is nothing in the link that you can hide with the submit button
