You can use javascript for this:
<html:link href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit(); return false;">
<img src="images/whatever.gif" border="0">
</html:link>
And as per the suggestion Peter made to me the other day, use the same
sort of call to modify the form action before posting if you're posting
to different locations.
