ASP.Net MVC, Submit a form using javascript

Question

I have a form on one of my ASP.Net MVC views that I created using the following code

 <% using (Html.BeginForm(null, null, FormMethod.Post))

If you want to use jQuery without naming the form, and you will only have one form on the page, you can just add a link like this to your page:

Submit

And then add this jQuery which will wire up the link to submit every form:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("a.submitForm").click(function () {
        $("form").submit();
    });
});

So this is a way of doing it (the way I just did it on my site) that doesn't require you to name the form - provided you only have one. Saying that, you may want to submit multiple forms ..
