[Moo] Submit()

[H13]

Hi, is there some equivalent for jquery's submit() in mootools.

If I use this with jquery:
<form method="post" action="" id="form1" >
...
</form>
<a onclick="$(\'#form1\').submit();" >Send</a>'

The site will be not reloaded and AJAX code will be run:
$('#form1').submit(function(){ ...


but if I use the same with mootools:
<form method="post" action="" id="form1" >
...
</form>
<a onclick="$(\'form1\').submit();" >Send</a>'

The site will be reloaded and no AJAX code will be run :-( :
$('form1').addEvent('submit', function(e){
                new Event(e).stop(); ... will be ignored :-(


Is there some solution, so form can be submitted (with help of AJAX)
in case user clicks on URL

Thank you for your help.
