Currently SubmitLink sets the to href='#', instead it would have a valid href (similar to a regular Link). The onclick would still submit the form but return false to prevent the href being followed in javascript browswers.
Then the you have 1 of 2 cases: 1) the browswer has javascript and runs the onclick handler, which returns false so the href is not followed. This is standard SubmitLink behavior. 2) the browser does not support javascript, completely ignores the onclick handler and instead follows the href. This *does not* submit the form. This is standard Link behavior. The usecase for this is when you have a form that would be nice to submit, but its not required that it be submitted (such as pagination). I realize this is a very weird corner case. At this point the design calls for a lot of stuff that cannot be done without javascript so I am probably going to just use submitlink anyway. I only asked on the list to see if someone had done the work for something like this already.
