Brian,
This document.siDetailsAdd.submit() will submit the form, but it will not call the
onSubmit event in the form tag.
As far as I am aware an event trigger does not trigger another event in JavaScript,
i.e. the submit is triggered by the onClick event, thus not triggering the onSubmit
event.
So you need to call the function in the onSubmit event manually
<a href="#" id="test" onClick="test_alert(); document.siDetailsAdd.submit()"
class="link">Add</a>
I know you can trigger events through code, for example if you wanted to trigger the
onClick event of the above link through code, you could do that like so;
document.getElementById('test').onclick()

It submits the correct form, as it goes to the correct page, it just ignores
the onsubmit attribute in the form tag. In the below code clicking on the
add will direct the browser to addsi.cfm. It does not do the
onsubit="test_alert", which pops an alert box that says test. If I replace
the add link with a normal input type="submit" then it all works.
Brian
<form action="addsi.cfm" method="post" name="siDetailsAdd"
onSubmit="test_alert()">
<a href="#" onClick="document.siDetailsAdd.submit()" class="link">Add</a>
</form>
