I think you have to pass the form to the behavior in some way or you can do
something like this..but it is ugly in some way :)
1. in the form panel
AjaxFormSubmitBehavior behave = new AjaxFormSubmitBehavior(form,
"onchange") {
...
public void renderHead(IHeaderResponse response) {
super.renderHead(response);
response.renderJavascript("function submit_my_form(){\n" +
getEventHandler().toString() + "\n}", "submit_my_form");
}
};
form.add(behave);
...
2. anywhere in the page
and your button will look like this:
<input type="button" value="my_button" onclick="submit_my_form()"/>
