I don't have time to look at the code right now but it seems cleaner to
do something like this instead:

// javascript
function parent_form(node) {
    while (true) {
        node = node.parentNode;
        if (!node || node.nodeName == 'BODY') {
            return null;
        }
        if (node.nodeName == 'FORM') {
            return node;
        }
    }
}

# python
return '<a href="#" onclick="parent_form(this).submit()"><img ...></a>'

(You could put the javascript in util/handlers.js to avoid spitting it
out inline.)

(Javascript is tested in FF and IE, you're welcome to have at it in
Opera or Safari but my guess is it will work fine there too.)
