Rails - Feb 2008 - Use submit tag but show a link

Hi,

The submit_tag when used created a button by default. Is there a way
by which i can create a link and use submit_tag and its properties.
I have a form submission and i want that to work as it is but instead
of button show a link in my page.

Neha

something like

link_to_function("submit",
"$(''form_id'').submit();")

should work, assuming you use prototype.js
if not, replace $(...) with document.getElementById(''form_id'')
and of course form_id has to be replaced with the actual id of your form

While using the link_to_function i am getting this javascript
<a onclick="Form.getInputs(this.form, null,
''commit'')[0].value ''add_another_criteria''; ;
return false;" name="_commit" href="#">Add
Term To Search</a>

and with submit_tag i am getting thus
<input type="submit" value="Add Term To Search"
onclick="Form.getInputs(this.form, null,
''commit'')[0].value
''add_another_criteria''" name="_commit"/>

How can i make this work.
