I want the user to click a link. That link contains a value which is a form object field. It also invokes onsubmit...

Possible?

No. At least not the way you want it.

You'll see some browsers that try and do both - IE (depending on how you code it) might submit the form before the user is navigated away. But Marten is correct - you don't want to do it that way.

You can submit a form from a link but that would include some javascript. It depends on what you want/need. However giving a, best, solution is hard if we have only 2 lines to go on :).

I was able to do it but using Javascript to submit the form. I guess I have to brush up on my javascript!
