It *can* be done with Javascript:

<form id="myform" method="GET" action="handler.cgi">
....
<a href="flibble.html" onclick="document.getElementById('myform').submit">
....
</form>

But that is probably a *very* bad idea. People expect to submit a form by
clicking a button -- not by following a link. If you don't use a button to
submit the form, then you may confuse your users.
