You can do this by using Javascript.
<form name="postform" method="POST" action="someservlet">
<input type="hidden" name="name1" value="value1">
<input type="hidden" name="name2" value="value2">
</form>
<a herf="javascript:document.postform.submit();">A link that posts</a>
I think that
<a href="" onclick="document.postform.submit();">A link that posts</a>
should work also.
This code may not be perfect, I haven't tested it, but it should point
you in the right direction.
