Seems like a slightly odd thing to do, but I’m sure it can be done. I  
suppose you could use link\_to\_function with “this.form.submit()” as the  
function.

I guess the quick and dirty way is just add it as part of your url link.

Example:

link\_to ‘name’, {…, :param =\> ‘test’}, :method =\> :post
