title: How can I use an anchor tag to submit a form with jquery
body: <p>I want to use the following anchor to submit a form with jquery to Spring.  How is this done?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a target="" title="" class="" href=""&gt;Save&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried this, where requestNew is my form:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $(document).ready(function(){
    $("a").click(function(){
       $("#requestNew").submit(function(){
           $.post("../acctRequests", $("#requestNew").serialize());
        });
    });
   });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It doesn't seem to go anywhere.</p>
