title: Submit form using <a> tag
body: <p>I am trying to submit a form through onclick event on  tag. I have tried triggering document.myform.submit(), this.form.submit(), parentNode.submit() etc. but none of this is working! Using a submit button, the code works fine. But I want to use  tag in place of that. Need some help.</p>
