YES, with javascript.EXAMPLE:NORMAL HTML FORM

<form id='sub' action='reg.php' method='post'><input type='text' id='email'/></form>

LINK TO CLICK

<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('sub').submit()">Submit</a>

Note that when javascript is disabled in the browser, you® form will not submit!

thank you this works well but if you have "required" in the form like.. <input type="text" name="name1" id="name1" size="30" maxlength="50" required /> it dose not work. is they a way around it?

HTML5 attribute right?Well, i think you should remove it then, since it is a new attribute, because browsers like safari/IE do not support it, so you still have to validate it with script(s).
