jQuery Forum

I got a weird thing. Originally the code below works. After I made some changes, it failed. I debug, found only when I use $('quick_tag_form').submit(), remove '#',  it will submit the form. Do you know why ? which way is correct ? very weird .

1. <form   id="quick_tag_form" action="abs.do?cmd=createNew" method="POST">       
           <table>
             <tr><td>Name</td><td><input name="name" type="text" value="" /></td></tr>         
             <tr><td colspan=2><a class="form_button" href="#" onclick="tag_quick_add()">Quick Add</a></td></tr>
             </table> 
   </form>    
2. 
   <script type="text/javascript">
   function tag_quick_add(){   
       $('#quick_tag_form').submit();   
   }
   </script>
