Q593 How can I submit a form from a text link?

Try:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
function func_name() {
    document.form_name.submit();
}
//--></script>

<form name="form_name">
<input type="text" name="input">
</form>

<a href="javascript:func_name()">submit</a>

If, however, you are using this to submit a form with an ACTION attribute with mail: then it will fail (quietly).
