   1. My attempts at submitting a  form when an anchor is clicked so that
   it behaves like a button have been pretty hit or miss.
   I was able to do this in a much older version of Seaside without
   difficulty.  I'm not sure if I'm not using the correct javascript libraries
   in my application's configuration.  Clearly there must be a way to make it
   work, even if I need to write a little javascript to emulate the old
   behavior.

   2. This is the code I am using.

   3. anchor
       id: self id;
       class: self cssClass;
       callback: [
           (html jQuery this closest: self director identifier)
   triggerSubmit.
           self triggerEvent: #linkClicked with: self
       ];
       onClick: 'submit()';
       with: self text

   4. The javascript library I am using is JQuery.JQDepoloymentLibrary.  I
   also was including WAToolFile, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

   5. Any thoughts appreciated.


Thanks,
