Answer 1

you can do it like this with raw javascript

    
        

            submit
        
    

For those asking why I have a href element in my anchor tag, its because it's a compulsory part of an anchor tag, it may well work without but it's not to spec. So if you want to guarantee rendering etc you must give the engine a fully formed tag. So the above achieves this. You will see href="#" used sometimes but this is not always wanted as the browser will change the page position.
