title: ASP.NET MVC Form Submit with Link instead of Button
body: <p>I would like to have a simple login form (or any form for that matter), and be able to post it, not with a button, but with a link.</p>
  
  <p>So no <code>input</code>, but <code>a</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen plenty of solutions for this type of question, and I've tried lots of different options, and every single time, nothing happens. </p>
  
  <p>I've stripped all the JQuery from what I have, so this is the "base" situation: what's missing to make it submit the form?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;% using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "loginForm" }))
    { %&gt;
         &lt;%= Html.TextBoxFor(x =&gt; x.UserName)%&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
         &lt;%= Html.TextBoxFor(x =&gt; x.Password)%&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
         &lt;a href="#" id="submit-link" class="button"&gt;Log In&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;%}%&gt;
  </code></pre>
