[Tapestry-developer] How to make Action work like Submit?

[Richard Lewis-Shell]

Hi,   We are wanting to get our Action hyperlinks to submit their enclosing form when clicked as well as perform their intended action.  (we don't want to/can't use an image or a button)  So the idea is to use <a href="...tapestry's" generated action URL here... >.  (This worked with WebObjects BTW).  But there seems to be problem - after the action is triggered, the rewinding is aborted - Action.java throws a RenderRewoundException right after calling actionTriggered in the listener.  Presumably this is to save going through the hassle of rewinding page state would normally be ignored anyway..  But, if we are submitting form data then that rewinding of the rest of the page (actually, just the form) is needed - eg. the action might be at the top of the page with form fields etc below - we want/need values changed in those fields to be reflected as if a submit button were used.   So, is this possible with the built-in components?  I suspect not, but would love to be proved wrong (preferably with an example!). Thanks, Richard   PS. This relates to 2.0.2a - though can find no reason to suspect it would be any different with 2.0.3 -> 2.1-rc-1
